HAUGHTON MEMORIAL TO BE BUILT NEXT SUMMER

BAS-RELIEFS OF MONUMENT ARE

By R. T. Mckenzie

Harvard's memorial to Percy D. Haughton '99, plans for which were first announced last year, will be erected next summer, it was learned yesterday.

Although it is impossible to foretell the exact date when the monument will be completed, it may be said that all the work will have been finished when the students return to College next fall.

The memorial will be placed in front of the Soldiers. Field Locker Building between the two entrance to the building, and will be of stone, approximately 12 feet by 5 at the base and eight feet high with three stone steps leading up to it. Three bronze bas-relief tablets by R. T. McKenzie will be set in the stone. The largest and central panel will be of Haughton in football toga crouching with one knee on the ground in a pose characteristic of the famous mentor. The two flanking tablets will represent scrimmages. On the base, directly underneath the bas-reliefs, will be the words "In Memory of Percy Duncan Haughton." The memorial is designed by a Boston firm, Walker, Walker and Kingsbury, and will cost $10,000.

The three bronze bas-reliefs have been completed, and are now on exhibit in the Grand Central Galleries in New York City. The members of the Percy D. Houghton Memorial Committee are J. W. Farley '99, chairman, Arthur Adams '99, J. W. Cutler '09, G. G. Browne '10, Paul Withington '10, R. T. Fisher '12, H. R. Hardwick '15, and M. I. Logan '15.
