A structure on the grounds of the New York I'niversity, completed in 1900, and designed to commemorate the acliievements of distin- guished citizens of the United States. It con- sists of a colonnade, 500 feet in length, following the curve of a lerraee which suoports three of the university Iniildings, and resting on a granite corridor which contains a long hall and five rooms, intended for a nuiseum for the preserva- tion of portraits and mementos of those whose names are inscribed in the colonnade. The colonnade contains 150 panels seven feet long and one and one-quarter feet high, designed to be filled 1>.V bronze tablets bearing the name of the person commemorated, the dates of his birth and death, and a selection from his writings. The agreement between the university and the donor of the Hall of Fame provided that no name shall be inscribed except of a person born in what is now the territory of the United States, and of a person who has been dead at least ten years. Fifty names, if selected, were to be inscribed dur- ing 1900, and five additional names every five years thereafter, completing the full number by the year 2000. Nominations were received from the general public by the University Senate, who transmitted the names seconded by any member to a hoard of 100 electors selected from educa- tors, writers, and others interested in American history, 51 votes being necessary to a choice, subject to the final approval of the University Senate. The first fift.v names were required to include representatives of a majority of fifteen classes: authors and editors; business men; edu- cators: inventors; missionaries and explorers; philanthropists and reformers; clergymen and theologians; scientists; engineers and architects; lawyers and judges; musicians, painters, and sculptors; physicians and surgeons; rulers and . statesmen; soldiers and sailors; distinguished men and women outside these classes. Panels left vacant by these restrictions may be filled the ensuing year. The announcement of the new foundation created wide interest. It was favor- ably considered by the press, and some papers offered prizes for the lists of names which should approach most closely to the final choice of the 485 HALLSTATT EPOCH. electors. The Senate received over 1000 names, of which 200 were submitted to the elec- tors, who were themselves invited to add to the nominations. From the names suggested, the electors chose 29, as follows: George Washing- ton, Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster, licn- janiin Franklin, Ulysses S. Grant, John JI;ir- shall, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Robert Fulton, Henry Wadsvvorth Longfellow, Washington Irving, Jonathan Edwards, Samuel F, B. iMorsc, David G. Farragut, Henry Clay, George Peabody, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Peter Cooper, Eli Whitney, Robert E. Lee, Horace Mann, John James Audubon, James Kent, Henry Ward Beecher, Jose))h Story, John Adams, William Ellery Channing, Gilbert C. Stuart, Asa Gray.
