They lack concreteness, perhaps, but there may be some among the alumni to whom a memorial is something more than the mere piling of one brick on top of another in a successful attempt to outdo in uselessness all previous war memorials. A World War Memorial Scholarship and Fellowship Fund could never be the laughing stock of Cambridge, it would fill a pressing need, and would materially aid the teaching of the arts of peace...
...would institute a back to nature movement for Cambridge. He would lay out, on the territory now occupied, all too unworthily, by the Freshman squash courts, and library, a beautiful memorial park, small, perhaps, but perfect.

Around the outside between the first and second stories are twelve round carved marble plaques set in the walls, depicting the signs of the zodiac. On. entering, one is faced by a wide marble staircase similar to the one in Widener but not as large. Paneling and painting are now being done in the interior...
