The statue is of Joseph Story, a former Harvard Law School professor
and Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court.

"The Hon. Joseph Story L.L.D., as it so happens, was an Associate
Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1811 until 1845. He
was also the head of the Harvard Law School from 1829 until 1845,
which accounts for his presence in Cambridge in early April. As a
Harvard Law School student I now pass by a marble statue of Justice
Story every time I enter the library."

"Before leaving Langdell Hall, walk to the main entrance of the
building, just a few steps from the Circulation Desk. In the entrance
foyer is the magnificent statue of Joseph Story, Harvard Law School
professor (1829-1845) and United States Supreme Court Justice
(1811-1845). The sculptor was Story's son, William Wetmore Story."

Working on a character of a Harvard Law Grad.  Not having been to
Cambridge I am using maps and pictures to help establish a sense of
the campus. A law student would simply have to know who the statue was
of...and now I do. Thanks for the extra links and thorough response.
