Century Memorial
Francis Stewart Kershaw had been a non-resident member of the Century since war-time. He was long a teacher, then served on the staff of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, where his expert work in the department of Chinese pottery and porcelain won him wide recognition At his residence in Cambridge or his summer home at Marlboro, New Hampshire, he was a frequent entertainer of his friends. He was a well-read man, fond of his garden and flowers, and finding great enjoyment in reading aloud from good literature, which he did extremely well.
