use honors fo From Staff Reports USC honored former university President Donald L. Russell Wednesday with a special ceremony and portrait unveiling in the Russell House. Portraits of Russell and his wife, Virginia, were unveiled by USC President James B. Holderman and Board of Trustees members in the second floor lobby of Russell House, the building named in the Russells' honor. Russell's presidency, which lasted from 1952 to 1957, was called the "Russell Renaissance" by board Chairman R. Markley Dennis because of the many capital improvement yi vjcvia started on campus during those years. CONSTRUCTION on the Russell House was begun during the Russell presidency, and the building opened in 1955. The facility has been enlarged three times, in 1958, 1967 and 1976. The last addition included the second floor lobby where the Russell portraits will hang. The portraits were painted by Robert Bruce Williams of Washington, D.C. /# - / mm * ~m m - - #r s very aiwcuit to achieve immortality, but this couple has, in more ways than / could count...' ?James B.
