[Trinity College vice-pres...]
Trinity College vice-president, James F. English, Jr., turns over Bishop Samuel Seabury's mitre to his successors, Bishop Morgan Porteus, right, and Bishop Coadjutor Arthur E. Walmsley, left, for safekeeping in the archive room of the diocesan house, Hartford, Conn. The transfer was made following Evensong in Trinity College Chapel on St. Andrew's Day, the 250th anniversary of Seabury's birth, at the beginning of a special convention of the Diocese of Connecticut which voted to raise $6.8 million for Venture in Mission.
