The Presidential Portrait Gallery is dedicated to those laborers who strived-and are striving today-in pursuit of academic excellence. “We regard it as no small honor to have been the first laborers-the first working faculty organized in an institution which we believe is destined, at no distant day, to take a high and noble stand among similar institutions in our land.” In the first Report of the Faculty to the Board of Trustees, submitted on July 6, 1858, there was much optimism. These portraits depict leaders who guided the University of Iowa from its humble beginnings to its prominence today as an institution that excels and innovates in scholarship, teaching, and service. The portraits are displayed with an overview of each leader’s tenure and accompanying images showing the campus during that time period. Visitors will see a variety of portraiture styles done in various media, including oil, drawing, and photograph. Most of the portraits were commissioned during each president’s lifetime. The Main Library’s fifth floor is home for the Presidential Portrait Gallery, featuring artists’ original portraits of the UI’s past presidents. Undergraduate Research Services (The SEAM).
