The portrayal in bronze of this idealistic figure will be from the studio of Frederick Yelling ton Ruckstull of New York, one of Americas foremost sculptOrs.

Surmounting the shaft is dome, representing the heavens, unfailing source of all good, from whence we look for the spiritual guidance and destiny of )ur nation. Perched on a globe, the eagle, our na- l tional emblem, crowns the dome in symbol purely American. The height of the completed memorial will be thirty-one feet.
