Description
Round plaster relief of Alfred P. Sloan.
Born in 1875, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. was elected president of General Motors in 1923. He remained in that position for 23 years. During that time he developed a love for philanthropy and established the Sloan Foundation to "represent my accomplishments in life." Being of primary importance to the expansion of GM in the mid-twentieth century, Sloan amassed funds that he gave away for such projects as cancer research.
The medallion was minted in bronze and gold-plated bronze in 1979.
