...bring the project to the attention of persons who might be induced to contribute. Especially is to be remembered that, excepting Memorial Hall, all of the buildings erected at Harvard in our time have been given or bequeathed by individuals singly; men with means, who wish to build a monument either to themselves, or some other, prefer, and naturally prefer, to give all, rather than to have their partial contributions merged unidentified in a general subscription.

The earliest form of monument was a simple tablet, which later is found elaborately carved. They usually contain the names of the person to whom the monument is erected, his father, and those who set up the tablet. As the stones become more elaborate we find figures carved in relief. Some of these suggest, though roughly, figures in the frieze of the Parthenon. In the Attic monuments we find the hoplite, the sailor perched on the prow...
