The halls of many colleges and universities display paintings of school presidents, donors and famous alumni. But at Princeton University, a gallery of portraits presents campus workers in a whole new light. Howard Sutphin in Campus Dining, who is featured in one of the portraits of campus workers by visiting art fellow Mario Moore, said: “That’s going to be here after I retire, cause the school has purchased it. … All the years, I gave love. I got it back in that.”
