At the conclusion of these exercises upon the site reserved for the Hall of Fame for Women, the Seventh Regiment Band struck up "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." John Paul Jones. The procession marched to the site reserved for the “Loggia of Famous Americans of Foreign Birth," where a platform had been prepared near by the temporary wall of concrete in which the three bronze tablets will remain until the completion of the Loggia in their honor. When the procession halted the Chancellor said: In October, 1905, the One Hundred Electors of the Hall of Fame inaugurated a Roll of Famous Americans of Foreign Birth by the choice, by a majority of votes, of three names.

Whitney. I have the honor of introducing as their speaker Miss Harriet Duer Robinson. Miss Robinson read the following, written by Miss Julia Livingston Delafield: Alexander Hamilton is a name that recalls many memories; his brilliant and brief career furnishes abundant material for the novelist and the historian.
