Last spring a movement was started to place a memorial to Dean Shaler in the Union. Considerable interest was manifested by graduates and undergraduates, but as the Union was unwilling to start a precedent by allowing a bas-relief to be placed in the building, this project was abandoned. It seems a pity that some form of memorial to Professor Shaler cannot be placed where it will recall his memory to all undergraduates. The bas-relief in the Scientific School and the research fund are very fitting tributes, but their scope is necessarily restricted. If a bas-relief would detract...
...tablets were put in place on the walls of the Chapel during the past summer. The bronze tablet to Henry Ware, presented by his descendants, has been placed in the north wall at the left of the pulpit. It bears a bas-relief of Henry Ware on the upper half and the dates "1794-1843." Below is the inscription: "Henry Ware Junior. Parkman Professor of Pulpit Eloquence and the Pastoral Care...

These medals will not only combine a good bas-relief of President Eliot by a famous medallist, but also a memento of the College...
...would detract from the home-like aspect of its interior. We feel that such fears are groundless. Dean Shaler's position in the University was so unique, that there will be few men whose claim for a memorial in the Union can be based upon the precedent of a bas-relief or bust of Dean Shaler. Nor do we feel that a few such memorials, if suitably chosen and located, will in any way injure the livable atmosphere of the Union. Memorial Hall, for example, is a monument to those who fought and died in the Civil War. Yet this...
...individual trophies for the members of last year's Yale crew have been completed and distributed. They are in the form of a cigar cutter, of Roman gold. On one side, in bas-relief, is a raised facsimile of the flags won in the race. Lying across the flags are represented an oar and rudder. On the reverse side is the following inscription: "1889, Yale versus Harvard, won by Yale." Then follows the name of the owner of the trophy, and his position in the boat. They are the most artistic trophies that have ever been given...
