Portrait of James F. ByrnesClemson University LibrariesOn back: PORTRAIT OF JAMES F. BYRNES which hangs in the Byrnes Room at the Clemson University Library was painted by Robert Brooks Childress of Hadlyme, Conn. Mr. Childress is a 1936 graduate of Clemson and native of Laurens, S.C. His painted illustrations have appeared on the covers of some of the nation's leading magazines. When Mr. Childress heard that Governor Byrnes was giving his personal papers and mementos to Clemson, he decided that a portrait of the eminent statesman would be the best gift he could give the University. Today, the portrait is one of the highlights of the Byrnes Room. (Clemson Newsphoto)
