A National Civic Hall 
 
 JHE 62nd Congress passed the Bill in- 
 troduced by Senator Elihu Root of 
 New York, relating to the erection of 
 a National Civic Hall in Washington, 
 D.C., to be dedicated to the memory of George 
 Washington and to be used in a most important 
 way for the benefit of the country and indeed 
 of the whole world. The same Congress set apart 
 a superb building site covering several acres 
 valued at fully half a million dollars and author- 
 ized the George Washington Memorial Associa- 
 tion to undertake the raising of $2,500,000 for 
 the erection and maintenance of the building. 
 
 Design and Plans Approved by the National 
 Commission of Fine Arts 
 
 The plans of the building, approved by the 
 National Commission of Fine Arts, are the result 
 of a competition in which thirteen of the leading 
 architects of the country participated. The build- 
 ing when erected will be one of the group of build- 
 ings contemplated in the development of the 
 
 Mall, extending from the Capitol to the Lincoln 
 Memorial. 
 
 The Need and the Purpose 
 
 The National Civic Hall is to meet the need, 
 long neglected, of providing at the Capital City 
 of the Nation, in the one city which belongs to 
 all the people of the United States, a building 
 which will be the center of noble activities; a 
 gathering place for the molding of public opinion 
 and the inspiring of the people for the accom- 
 plishment of great enterprises. 
 
 Rooms for Organizations of National Scope and 
 for State Exhibits 
 
 It will contain the headquarters of patriotic, 
 scientific, educational, and other organizations of 
 national scope interested in promoting the public 
 welfare. There will be in it a number of assembly 
 halls, the largest of which will accommodate at 
 least 6,000 persons, and besides these halls for 
 meeting, there will be reserved for each of the 
 States which provides its quota, a room to be 
 
known by the State name in which it may exhibit 
 its resources and achievements to the throngs 
 of people who visit our National Capital. 
 
 Washington — The City which Belongs to Us All 
 
 Every year the number of conventions and 
 large public gatherings meeting in Washington 
 increases. The desire to visit the city where the 
 President resides, Congress assembles, foreign 
 governments maintain their embassies, and the 
 various departments of the Government are in 
 operation, is constantly in the heart of every 
 American citizen. Not only are the number of 
 national gatherings in Washington multiplying 
 but in view of the disturbed state of affairs in 
 many sections of the world, the Capital of this 
 nation will be recognized as the most convenient 
 and natural place for the gathering of great Inter- 
 national Congresses. 
 
 An Immediate Need 
 
 New and stupendous responsibilities are now 
 resting on this nation. From this country, with 
 
 its unlimited freedom for the exercise of political 
 and religious privileges and the liberty of speech 
 and assembly, there are to radiate the mighty 
 thoughts which will create world opinion as to 
 justice and righteousness and contribute toward 
 the realization of the Democracy of the World. 
 The United States must grasp her opportunity 
 now, and take the leadership in bringing about 
 these desired achievements. Owing to the Euro- 
 pean War, a distracted world will for some time 
 look to this great nation for the quickening of 
 world thought on many vital subjects. The 
 providing of a place of meeting for the people, 
 not only of our own country but of the world, 
 must not be deferred. 
 
 George Washington's Wish 
 
 This structure will be a fitting expression also 
 of the interest which Washington had in the 
 increase of the opportunities for higher education 
 which he so often urged in his messages to Con- 
 gress and tried to aid by the desires expressed 
 in his will. It will also be a becoming expression 
 of this generation's reverence for the character 
 
and services of him whom the American people 
 love to call the "Father of His Country." 
 
 A Peace Memorial 
 
 Washington was our first great Peace Advocate. 
 In 1785 he wrote to a French Army officer: "My 
 first wish is to see the whole world in peace, and 
 the inhabitants of it one band of brothers, striving 
 who shall contribute most to the happiness of 
 mankind." He urged also "the necessity of plac- 
 ing ourselves in a condition of complete defense." 
 In this Memorial there will be an impartial ex- 
 change of ideas which will greatly aid in establish- 
 ing for all nations peaceful relationships with one 
 another. Such will be one of the fundamental 
 uses to which the George Washington Memorial 
 Building will be put. It will be a veritable 
 People's Forum and one of the most inspiring 
 Peace Memorials in the world. 
 
 Permanent Endowment 
 
 Of the amount to be raised, $500,000 is to be 
 set aside for a permanent endowment that the 
 building may be always available for public use 
 without fee or rental. 
 
 Control and Administration 
 
 The control and administration of the Memo- 
 rial will rest with the Board of Regents of the 
 Smithsonian Institution which, at present, con- 
 sists of the following persons: — 
 
 Edward D. White, Chief Justice of the United States, 
 Chancellor; 
 
 Thomas R. Marshall, Vice-President of the United States; 
 
 Henry Cabot Lodge, Member of the Senate from Mas- 
 sachusetts; 
 
 William J. Stone, Member of the Senate from Missouri; 
 
 Henry F. Hollis, Member of the Senate from New Hamp- 
 shire; 
 
 Scott Ferris, Member of the House of Representatives 
 from Oklahoma; 
 
 Maurice Connolly, Member of the House of Representa- 
 tives from Iowa; 
 
 Ernest W. Roberts, Member of the House of Representa- 
 tives from Massachusetts; 
 
 Andrew D. White, citizen of New York (Ithaca); 
 
 Alexander Graham Bell, citizen of Washington, D.C.; 
 
 George Gray, citizen of Delaware (Wilmington); 
 
 Charles F. Choate. Jr., citizen of Massachusetts (Boston); 
 
 John B. Henderson, Jr., citizen of Washington, D.C.; 
 
 Charles W. Fairbanks, citizen of Indiana (Indianapolis), 
 
Plan for Raising the Money 
 
 The sum of $2,500,000 required for the erection 
 and maintenance of this building has been appor- 
 tioned among the various States, to be raised 
 under the direction of an Advisory Council 
 usually appointed by the Governor. Up to the 
 present time forty-one States, through their 
 Governors, have indicated their readiness to 
 co-operate. 
 
 Control of Funds in Each State 
 
 The control of the fund raised in each State 
 rests with the State Advisory Council, until it is 
 turned over to the proper official of the Associa- 
 tion. One of the strongest banks in the State is 
 selected as the Depository. 
 
 Permanent Record of Founders 
 
 A careful registration for permanent record (to 
 be placed in the archives of the building) will be 
 made of each contributor's name and address. 
 
 A Few Friends by Name 
 
 A large number of people have made contribu- 
 tions and it is hoped, as far as possible, an oppor- 
 tunity will be presented for every citizen of the 
 nation to have a share. 
 
 Among the subscribers to the Fund are found 
 the names of Mrs. George S. Bowdoin, Mrs. 
 Benjamin Buckingham, Mr. W. Eno, Miss Isabel 
 C. Freeman, Mrs. William M. Kingsland, Mr. 
 Henry R. Mallory, Mrs. Robert Pitcairn, Mr. 
 Moses Taylor Pyne, Mrs. Charles Boughton 
 Wood, Former Senator William A. Clarke, all for 
 $1,000 each; Mrs. Pheobe A. Hearst, $2,500; Mr. 
 George F. Baker, Mrs. Frederick Thompson, Mr. 
 J. B. Duke, all for $5,000 each; Mr. James J. 
 Hill, $10,000; Mrs. John Hay, $20,000. 
 
 Commemoration 
 
 Opportunity to give in memory of others, or 
 to honorably perpetuate one's own name, is 
 afforded by this national undertaking. Various 
 ways in which this may be acceptably done in 
 keeping with the canons of good taste, will be 
 explained on application to the General Secretary. 
 
Trustee of the Permanent Fund 
 
 Mr. Charles J. Bell, President of the American 
 Security and Trust Company, Washington, D.C., 
 is the Trustee of the Permanent Fund. His 
 latest report bears date of the annual meeting, 
 February 17th, and states that at that time he 
 had in hand $156,162.29. In addition to the 
 above amount, subscriptions of $107,500 more 
 are already pledged. 
 
 Applied Patriotism 
 
 This beautiful hall for civic betterment, we 
 believe, is destined to become the most demo- 
 cratic and patriotic expression in tangible, hu- 
 manity-serving form of the abiding love and 
 gratitude of a great people to the Father of his 
 Country. 
 
 It will remain for all time a revelation of the 
 purpose of our citizens to cultivate that type 
 of patriotism which stands boldly for purity of 
 public and private life; the achievements of 
 science, art, and letters, the uplift of humanity 
 and the alleviation of suffering. 
 
 EXCERPTS FROM ENDORSEMENTS 
 
 Former President, William Howard Taft 
 
 "This memorial must be accomplished, and on a mag- 
 nificent scale." 
 
 Assistant Secretary U. S. Treasury, Andrew J. Peters 
 
 "It is a matter of deep regret that there is no such 
 meeting place now in Washington. The erection of such 
 a building is an urgent need." 
 
 Dr. William Henry Welch of Baltimore 
 
 "One of the most urgent needs is a suitable meeting 
 place for national and international societies in Wash- 
 ington. Under existing conditions, I do not see how we 
 are justified in inviting large Societies and Congresses, 
 especially those of an international character, to meet in 
 this country; for the natural place is Washington." 
 
 Dr. James Ford Rhodes, Historian 
 
 "No one can read European history and travel in 
 Europe without feeling that one of our best assets is the 
 memory of George Washington. No other country has 
 such a worthy. In reverencing him both the South and 
 the North can unite with enthusiasm. What can be 
 better than to add to the impressive monument this serv- 
 iceable memorial?"

 Ground Floor Plan 
 George Washington Memorial Building 
 
Rabbi Henry Levi, Temple Adath Israel, Boston 
 
 "It is extremely appropriate that the contributions for 
 its erection should come from the people, and as many 
 of them as possible. And the Jew especially should re- 
 spond to the appeal to the measure of his ability. For 
 America, whose foundation Washington helped to lay, has 
 meant so much to the Jew, and still means so much. And 
 the Jew has always been so patriotically inclined." 
 
 Hon. William F. Murray, Postmaster, Boston, Mass. 
 
 "It is a great work in which I believe that every Massa- 
 chusetts citizen should have a part, to the end that the 
 building may be in every sense truly representative of 
 the popular will in the matter of a George Washington 
 Memorial." 
 
 Former Secretary of War, H. L. Stimson 
 
 "I believe that such a memorial to the memory of 
 Washington is not only most appropriate, but in the form 
 in which it is proposed it will be of great service towards 
 furthering causes of national importance." 
 
 United States Senator, John D. Works of California 
 
 "It is not for Washington alone but for the nation as a 
 whole. The Government having provided a site for the 
 building, the generous people of the country should be 
 quick to supply the funds necessary to construct the 
 building." 
 
 His Eminence, William Cardinal O'Connell 
 
 "It gives me great pleasure to express my interest in 
 the movement to establish a memorial building in Wash- 
 ington in honor of our nation's first President. 
 
 George Washington realized, and frankly voiced his 
 appreciation of the influence for good that the Catholic 
 Church always exercises in society; and, as Catholics, we 
 revere his memory, and are happy to endorse and encour- 
 age this movement in his honor." 
 
 United States Senator, Reed Smoot of Utah 
 
 "It gives me great pleasure to commend this patriotic 
 movement, for it certainly will be a most worthy memorial 
 and one of which the whole American people will heartily 
 approve. I can commend it to all who may be inclined 
 to take an interest in so worthy an object." 
 
 Hon. James M. Curley, Mayor of Boston 
 
 "It has been a pleasure to heartily endorse the purpose 
 of your Association during my term in Congress and you 
 may rely upon me to heartily support your proposed 
 memorial during my term as Mayor of Boston." 
 
 United States Senator, Miles Poindexter of Washington 
 
 "It will not only be a deserved and needed memorial 
 to a great man, and an ornament to our Capital City, but 
 as a Civic Hall will promote science and social better- 
 ment."

 Third Floor Plan

Former Ambassador, Andrew D. White of New York 
 
 "It has long appeared to me that there is no building 
 now so much needed at Washington as a great structure 
 of this sort, which will make possible there meetings of 
 the public bodies representing our whole country and, 
 indeed, the entire earth, and will worthily contribute to 
 the great plan of the city, which is at last beginning to 
 take such noble shape." 
 
 United States Senator, George C. Perkins of California 
 
 "A building of this kind will add greatly to the group 
 of public buildings now in process of construction, excit- 
 ing the admiration of architects and lovers of architect- 
 ural beauty of the City of Washington and which by its 
 dignity of architecture will stimulate and foster the de- 
 sires and wishes of all mankind for universal peace and 
 the uplift of the human race." 
 
 Charles W. Eliot, President Emeritus of Harvard University 
 
 "I think that such a building would be used often, and 
 to great advantage, and that it would constitute, if well 
 designed and well managed, a worthy monument to 
 George Washington." 
 
 Hon. L. E. Pinkham, Governor of Hawaii 
 
 "I accept your invitation to become the Honorary 
 Chairman of the Hawaii Advisory Council, and to take 
 further steps as you suggest from time to time." 
 
 Congressman William S. Greene of Massachusetts 
 
 "There is certainly great need of a building of this char- 
 acter in the Capital City of the nation. The people of 
 Massachusetts are foremost in every good work and this is 
 one of the most laudable propositions that has ever been 
 brought to my attention, and I doubt not that the citizens 
 of the Commonwealth will heartily encourage the same." 
 
 United States Senator, John W. Weeks of Massachusetts 
 
 "The location is particularly well adapted for such a 
 purpose and Washington certainly needs a building for 
 large conventions or meeting purposes. More and more 
 it is becoming a convention city, and naturally so." 
 
 United States Senator, George P. McLean of Connecticut 
 
 "With regard to the Washington Memorial, it ought to 
 come, and will come, I hope. I can agree with Senator 
 Root and President Hadley that such an institution is 
 needed." 
 
 United States Senator, John Sharp Williams of Mississippi 
 
 "I think a very beautiful feature of the plan is the idea 
 of providing rooms to be used in perpetuity by those States 
 which contribute towards the erection of the building." 
 
 Judge William W. Morrow, U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals 
 
 "I cordially approve of its purpose and I am sure it 
 will as it should receive the necessary financial support." 
 
Edwin D. Mead of the World Peace Foundation 
 
 "The idea of a Washington Memorial Building at the 
 National Capital which shall at once do honor to the 
 Father of the Country and serve a clear and great prac- 
 tical need is an idea to be welcomed and generously sup- 
 ported. No memorial could be more practical or more 
 fitting." 
 
 United States Senator, Blair Lee of Maryland 
 
 "It gives me great pleasure to concur in this movement, 
 both as a memorial to General Washington and for the 
 purpose of providing, among other things, an auditorium 
 for large public assemblies at the National Capital." 
 
 United States Senator, Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota 
 
 "Of course I am heartily in favor of the object of the 
 Association and was glad to have the Government give 
 the land and will do what I can to secure State appro- 
 priations." 
 
 Congressman Ernest W. Roberts of Massachusetts 
 
 "There is pressing need for a suitable place in the Cap- 
 ital City in which to hold meetings of national and inter- 
 national societies." 
 
 Congressman F. H. Gillett of Massachusetts 
 
 "I am heartily in favor of the project and shall do what 
 I can to advance it." 
 
 Former United States Senator, George Peabody Wetmore 
 of Rhode Island 
 
 "I am in full sympathy with the purposes of the Asso- 
 ciation." 
 
 United States Senator, Charles F. Johnson of Maine 
 
 "I appreciate that the erection of a memorial building 
 here in Washington to be used for the purpose stated is 
 highly desirable." 
 
 Governor Charles W. Gates of Vermont 
 
 "I realize the importance of the project, and will do 
 what I can to bring the matter to the favorable atten- 
 tion of our people." 
 
 United States Senator, Charles S. Thomas of Colorado 
 
 "A building of the character which you desire and 
 which will serve not only as a memorial to the Father of 
 his Country, but at the same time provide adequate and 
 attractive accommodations for great conferences and 
 conventions, for inaugural receptions and special public 
 meetings, should, and I think will receive the approval 
 of all sorts and conditions of men, and it is especially 
 gratifying to know that your Association proposes to 
 consummate its object by and through private sub- 
 scription, thus making it in every sense a national 
 contribution to the name and character of the Father 
 of his Country." 
 
United States Senator, Robert Owen of Oklahoma 
 
 "Washington City, our National Capital, properly 
 named after our great first President, is the Mecca for 
 the patriotic citizens of the United States and the meet- 
 ing place of a very great number of societies and organiza- 
 tions of citizens — social, civic, fraternal, military and 
 scientific — and a memorial hall to Washington as a meet- 
 ing place for these great societies would help to emphasize 
 the magnificent qualities which rendered George Washing- 
 ton the great exemplar of civic virtue, and which justifies 
 idealizing these qualities and emphasizing the attention of 
 the American world upon them. In this way the principles 
 for which George Washington stood will be made more 
 largely the common heritage of the American people."
