David Rockefeller '36 has established a professorship of Oriental art in honor of his mother, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. He provided endowment of the professorship as part of his contribution to the Program for Harvard College.
In announcing the new professorship, President Pusey noted that both at Harvard and in Boston are libraries and collections of Oriental art which attract scholars from all over the world. He expected that the occupant of the new chair would make significant contributions at a time when travel to the Far East is limited.
Mrs. Rockefeller served on the Overseers Committee of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Fogg Museum.
