PIKE, Charles J.  (ca1870- ) sculptor, medalist.
          Studied with Augustus St-Gaudens in Paris who exposed
          him to reliefs and modeling for medallic art. Despite the
          fact no medal can be found which he created, Pike
          conducted a class at the National Academy of Design in
          New York City of coin and medal design with related
          pantographic diecutting under the auspices of the American
          Numismatic Society (1901). The second year Victor
          Brenner (q.v.) was the instructor. Pike returned (1903-05)
          but the course was abandoned for lack of students.
