The Hubbard Memorial Building 



75 



Washington, D. C, in the form of a 

 Memorial Window presented by Mrs. 

 Hubbard, which portrays in allegory 

 the leading characteristics of Mr. Hub- 

 bard's life and its tranquil close in the 

 midst of his useful and abounding work. 

 The memorial window may be identi- 

 fied from the following published de- 

 scription : " 



"A stately figure stands with uplifted face, 

 looking toward the western sky ; the glory of 

 the sunset is above and about' him ; fields of 

 green and yellow spread around him ; sheaves 

 of golden grain are heaped beside him ; from 

 his hand the seed still drops into the open 

 furrow, the soft shadows fall, and the evening 

 star rises." 



The box containing this document 

 and other papers and coins will now be 

 sealed and deposited in the cornerstone 

 of the Hubbard Memorial Building in 

 the presence of Mrs. Gardiner Greene 

 Hubbard, and all the surviving descend- 

 ants of Mr. Hubbard, together with a 

 few personal friends. 



The cornerstone will be laid by Mel- 

 ville Bell Grosvenor, the infant great- 

 grandson of Gardiner Greene Hubbard, 

 in the arms of Mrs. Hubbard. 



Witness our signatures this 26th day 

 of April, 1 902.
