Library Owns One Of Original
Six Death Masks Of Napoleon
0
Valuable Relic Was Donated to University in 1894 by Captain
Francis T. Bryan and Is Kept in Vault Because
X)f Cracks Suffered in Fall.
A death mask of Napoleon
Bonaparte, believed to be one of
the six genuine plaster casts in
the world, is in the possession of
the University library.. Thought
to have been made by Dr. Fran
cesco Antommarchi, Napoleon's
personal physician while he was
an exile on the island of St.
Helena, the day after the em
peror's death, May 6, 1821, the
mask is considered of great value
and is locked in the vault of the
library. , -
Presented to the. University
in 1894 by Captain Francis T.
Bryan of St. Louis, the 'mask re
posed on the desk of the presi
dent as an ornament and curio
until 1907 when it was dropped
to the floor by a janitor. A
jagged crack from forehead to
chin and a chipped spot on the
nose, resulting from the fall,
mars the features and renders
any handling inadvisable.
Uniquely Different
In contour the cast conforms
accurately with Dr. Antom
marchi's measurements of the
dead man's face but differs in
some respects from any other
known mask. According to a
professor in the University at
DEAN VAN HECKE
ADVISES REVISION
OF CONSTITUTION
Law School Dean Discusses "The
Work of The Constitutional
Revision Commission."
In an address before the North
Carolina League of Women Vot
ers here yesterday, Dean M. T.
Van Hecke of the University
law school discussed "The Work
of the Constitutional Revision
Commission."
Tracing the history of the
present constitution of 1868 and
of the amendments and revisions
which it has undergone, Dean
Van Hecke indicated the need
for a new constitution, and the
creation of a commission of nine
to do the work, instead, as was
at first planned, of the calling
of a constitutional convention.
Outlining the personnel, the pro
cedure and the statutory powers
of this commission, he made it
clear that although the law
schools of Wake Forest college,
Duke university, and the Uni
versity of North Carolina are
co-operating in rendering re
search assistance to the commis
sion, the commission and not
the universities is doing the ac
tual writing of the new docu
ment. Commission Undecided
He emphasized, also, that the
commission is still surveying the
different articles and sections of
the present instrument, and the
experience of other states with
similar problems, and that it has
not yet decided upon' any one
proposal. Nor has it decided
whether to redraft the entire
instrument or to submit a series
of amendments. Indicating the
difficulties of the task, Dean Van
Hecke suggested that the
League of Women Voters inter
est its membership in the work
of the commission by way of
recommendations to the com
mission, and by participation in
the progress of the results of
the commission's work through
the legislature and before the
polls.
the time of the presentation of
the mask, "There is the: dome
like forehead, the masterful jaw,
the inflexible chin, the straight,
powerful nose; the emaciation
of illness lending a touch of
gentleness and pathos to the
stern, inexorable lineaments. It
is the face of Napoleon off his
guard."
"Unquestionably it is the most
truthful portrait of Bonaparte
that. exists," wrote the late Dr.
Edwin A. Alderman, then a pro
fessor at the University; in a re
search article in The Carolina
Magazine, April 1895.
Authenticity Doubted
For thirty-eight years since
Captain Bryan presented the
mask, there has been much spec
ulation as to its genuineness and
value. In 1895 Captain Bryan
wrote Dr. Alderman that the
mask "was always spoken of and
referred to as. having been
brought to America in 1836 by
Dr. Antommarchi and had been,
by him, given to Dr. Edwin
Bathurst Smith of New Or
leans," who in turn gave it to
his wife at his death. When
Mrs. Smith died in 1889 the relic
