By Wilbur Pippin, Parsons School of Design President Van Day Truex stands behind a desk, at a window. This image was likely taken sometime after Truex's presidency. The Parsons School of Design Alumni Association borrowed and reproduced a print from the photographer to illustrate an article by Truex in the June 1966 issue of Alumni magazine.
