| Description Of Item | This plaster bust of Tuke wearing contemporary dress was sculpted by John Hutchison.
The council minutes from 28 October 1913 record that ‘The Treasurer was directed to accept the offer’ of both Tuke’s bust and ‘an engraving of Darwin’ which Tuke’s representatives wished to gift to the College in the wake of his death on 13 October.
The bust may have undergone some alteration as the council minutes of 18 December 1913 record that the secretary was to inform Tuke’s son that the council had proposed to ‘alter the tint of the bust of his father’.
Robert Duddingstone Herdman's portrait of Tuke can also be found in the College's Collection.
