Description Of ItemIt is not known who sculpted this neoclassical-style plaster bust. However, the College Minutes of 3 May 1868 record that a letter had been received from Mrs Sandeman of Glasgow, one of Poole’s daughters stating that:

Some years ago there was a very good likeness taken of my dear Father, Dr. Poole, in the form of a Bust. I got one for myself, and as to it, he has expressed a wish that I should give it to the College and I have much pleasure in acceding to his desire. It is in the house of my Sister Mrs. Kirkwood and as she is to remove to Coupar Angus, I should have it sent to the College on hearing from you that such a thing would be received and valued. You may be aware my Father is now in his 86th year but I am sorry to say very frail in mind and body.
