Memorial Society Plans.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Memorial Society hopes to have bronze tablets placed on Stoughton and Holworthy Halls, if possible, before Class Day. They will be set up on the front of each building near the left end, and just above the first story, in order to be more legible than the present tablets on Massachusetts and Hollis, which will be changed to a similar position.

The inscriptions are as follows: "Stoughton Hall, Built by Harvard College, Aided by a State Lottery, 1805--Named in Honor of William Stoughton, who gave to Harvard College the first Stoughton Hall, 1698." "Holworthy Hall, Built with the Proceeds of a State Lottery, 1812--Named in Honor of an English Merchant, Sir Thomas Holworthy, who in 1681 gave *1000, the largest gift received by Harvard College during the Seventeenth Century."

Next year the Society will probably place a commemoration stone on the site of the first Stoughton Hall, in the quadrangle between Massachusetts and Harvard, and a bronze tablet on Holden Chapel.
