J. Lindsay Embrey
Oil on canvas, 56" x 40"
Businessman and Philanthropist
Collection, Southern Methodist University
Dallas, Texas
The new J. Lindsay Embrey School of Engineering Building
is his gift to his alma mater, Southern Methodist University.
But Lindsay Embrey's lifelong love was basketball. He played
basketball for SMU while a student there. Later, he became
one of the founders of the National Basketball Association,
and owned the Dallas franchise of that league. Hence his portrait,
shown here, has a basketball theme. J.H.S.
