- The Favored Scholar was one of John Rogers’s more sentimental groups, showing a girl receiving special attention from a young male teacher. It proved a very personal subject for one schoolteacher, Mr. B. W. Woodward from Pennsylvania, who gave this sculpture pride of place after he married his own “favored scholar.”
