THE MOUNTAINS 
OF VERMONT 
V |~RE to provide the marble for 
the Arlington Memorial, the nation’s 
majestic tribute to our soldiers and sailors. 
In many respects the Arlington Amphi- 
theatre will be the greatest of our national 
monuments. It is to be reared in the 
Arlington National Cemetery across the 
Potomac from Washington on land that 
once belonged to Gen. Robert E. Lee. It 
will cover 60,000 feet of space. It will call for more than 450 car loads of marble. 
If Washington is to retain her place among the splendid capitals of the world, the 
beauty of her public buildings must be of the kind that endures. Knowing this, the 
Arlington commission gave Vermont marble precedence over all other building materials. 
They could see that monuments of Vermont marble, erected nearly a hundred and fifty 
years ago, are still good. No further proof was needed.
