William Welles Bosworth (1869-1966) was the architect of several buildings on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus, as well as a friend of Paul Manship’s. “Bozzy” also designed the New York City headquarters of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and in 1914 commissioned Manship to create a wide range of reliefs and sculptural elements for the building. This is one of many medals Manship designed in tribute to his friends and colleagues. The figure of Euphrosyne, or Joy, on the reverse is one of the Three Graces described in classical mythology.
