HALL OF FAME MAJESTICALLY OVERLOOKING the valley through which the silent Hudson flows into crowded New York, stands a remarkable monument to those of our country- men who have achieved true greatness. Here. in the marble-columned chambers f the Hall of Fame. have been erected busts of sixty-nine men, who, after the rules of election, are considered worthy of this honor. To the memory of these who have achieved greatness has this memorial been dedicated, a contribution to the pride and inspiration of Americans. The monument itself is one of surpassing architectural beauty. Besides the main colonnade, which is divided into many sections, one for each branch of achievement represented, there are a memorial library, a museum, and several substructures. Every American is a shareholder in the Hall of Fame. This monument to our country’s truly great was a gift to the American People; and though its title is held by New York University, this institution regards itself as trustee, under sacred obligations to administer the gift in such a manner as to conserve the patriotic and idealistic aims of the donor. No one class or type of men is chosen by the electors of the Hall of Fame to occupy places in the colonnade. Literature, science, religion, arts, politics, education, adventure, business, and patriotic service all have their representa- tives among the memorials. So that time may determine whether or not a person has achieved true greatness, no person is eligible for election until twenty-five years after his death. Not only does the Hall of Fame serve as a permanent memorial to the great men of our nation, but also as a lasting inspiration to our youth, from whom will come tomorrow’s great. Its whole plan is educational and patriotic. To promote lofty sentiments, high aspirations, and wise ambitions is its purpose. It is a remarkable contribution, one that is fair, dignified, and permanent. As the shining waters of the serene Hudson approach towered Manhattan to be lost again in restless Atlantic, so the steadily-flowing current of youth passes from our portals into the ever-changing perplexities of life. On the bank of this stream do we erect “Achievement,” to serve as a lastine record of our attain- ments, and an inspiration to those who are destined to become the creat of tomorrow.
