' B y ELMO SCOTT WATSON r-""'""""""1l'TH a few notable e.;~ceptlons, . Amer~ lea has usually waited anywhere from two decades to a whole century before paying honor to some of her Presid&i1ts with memorials in keep fng with the dignity and Importance of the office whlch they held and with tllelr contribution to the history of our nation. So it is au the more remarkable, as well as all the greater a tribute to Theodore Roosevelt, that within ten years after his death not just one, but several, important memorial projects are either com~ pleted or are well under way. A short time ago James R. Garfield, son of President James A, Garfield and president of tbe Roosevelt Memorial association, announced that Annlostan island, in the Potomac river, a tract of 80 acres In the heart of the Nat1onnl CapitnJ, hnd been purchased by the association as the site for a national memorial to Roosevelt and Jt wtn be presented to the nation to be used ns a public park and to be incorporatell into the park system now being developed alon~ the Potomac by the National Cnpital Park and Planning commission. Bridges wUl connect the island with the main· land on the north at Roslyn and on the south near the Vlrgtntn end of the new Washlngton Memorial bridge. Ultimately the association in~ tends to erect on the Jsland an appropriate monumental structure, which will be designed by John Russell Pope, architect of the nssoclaticn, and bullt under the- supervision ot the National If·ine Arts commission and the Nattonal Capital Park and Planning commission. Such a memorial, set in so large an are:n, isolated by the river trom the llfe of the city yet easUy ncces.stble, wllJ be unique. Analostnn island lies due west o.t the Wbite House, between the Francis Scott Key bridge and the new \Vashington Memorial bridge, within the terl'ltorlal Hmits of the District of Oolum· bia. In its location, Its physical confo~atlon and Its heavy growth of timber tt is the most picturesque area In the district which h::t.s rexnaJned undeveloped. The lnnd rises slowly on the northern end and sharply on the southern, some 50 feet, to a wooded :p_lateau comprising approximately 20 acres, witb n clear view toward Arlington, the Lincoln memorial and the lower reaches of the Potomac. Toward the north the Key bridge, with the towers of Georgetown university beyond, provides an interesting and pleasing feature; towarU the west are the slopes of Arlington; toward the east, a tongue of wooded land beyond o. srunll pay, now filled in, cuts off completely the jndustrial plants which line the \vaterfront of Georgetown. The Island gives no Impression of wild country peculia!ly appropriate as a setting for a memorial to Roosevelt. The Roosevelt Memorial association was founded immediately after Roosevelt's death In January. 1919, and raised a fund of $1,750,000 by populnr snbscr1ptlon and in 1920 secured a charter~ from congress. Its alms are, first, to erect a suitable monumental memorial to 'l~heo· dore Roosevelt in 'Vnshingto.n; second, to establish and maintain a memorial park in Oyster Bay, N. Y.; nnd, third, to perpetuate Colonel Roosevelt's memory by sprea.ding the knowledge or his character and career. ' • The purchase of Analostan island Is the first step fn nccompllshing the first nim. In fulfillment of the second aim, 35 acre~J of land were purchased In the town of Oyster Boy and n men1orjal part{ llas been completed at n cost of $Gf){),000. It was formally dedicated on Mny, 30, 1028, and is now In use. Tbe sum of $200,000 has been set aside for perpetual maintenance. Tile further sum of $25,000 has been sGt aside for the perpetual care of Roosevelt's gra;e in Young's Memorial ceme· tery In Oyster Bay. 4 1.

Under the third aim the association has estab· lislH~d certain Institutions and carried forward certain activities, as follows: 1. Co-operated with the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial association in the completion of Roosevelt house, the restored birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt, at 28 East Twentieth street, N. Y., and :In fts maintenance as a national shrine and point of inspiration for public-spirited citizenship and sound nationalism. 2. Gathered one of the most noteworthy collections In the Unite,d States of memorabilia centering about a sttigle Individual and estab· Ushed at Roosevelt Hquse a permanent museum for its exhibition. '11he items, chronologically arranged, cover Roosevelt's entlre career. 3. Established, also at Roosevelt House, a Roosevelt library of research and a bureau of Information for students, writers, and others desiring information on his career. The library contains approximatelY 5,300 books and r•um· phtets, including all the books and articles writ· ten by Roosevelt, most of the material written nbout him, and an extensive collection of books relating to the period (1881-1919) of his pnbllc life. It contains, furthermore, 2,500 cartoons, S:M)()Q pictures, and countless clippings, ns well as extensive newspaper files. Ji:.Yery effort baa been made to obtain "1aterial that is nitkal of Roosevelt and his poUcies or adverse to them, as well as material in their favor. 4. A Roosevelt motion picture library has been estnbllshed. the Jlrst blograpblcal motion plctnre library in tl1e 'fOrld. Negutfve and posltlva films relating tol Roosevelt's career and photographed on tour continents have been col~ lected nnd assembled in ten production!'. 6. The collected wol'lks of Theodore Roosevelt have been pr~pared for publication in a limited edition and an inexpen~lve popular edition and published through regular commercial channels. 6. Numerous special publications have been Issued, including a collection of Roosevelt's wartime editorials, an account of his life ns n ranch~ man ln North Dakota, ana. a book of selections from his writings for use in schools. 7: For seven years no employee of the asso· elation bns been engaged tn sorting, arrnngiug, and calendaring the RoOsevelt correspondence In tbe Library of Congress for the benefit of future historians. 8. Established Roosevelt awards for dist!n· guisbed public serVice in fields -associated especially with nooj;evelt's career. These tlelds nre: Admlstratloo ot public office; development ot public and international law; promotion of 1ndus~ trial peace; conservation of natural resources; promotion ot social justice; the study of natural history; promotion of outdoor life; promotion of the national defense; the field of American liter· ature • the field of International affairs; the ex~ pression of the pioneer virtues; the leadership . " of youth and the development of Amerlcaw: character. Another striking memorlal to thls many-sided "strenuous American" came into being when the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial obelisk, author· 1zed by congress to honor the President who made forest conservation a national policy, was dedicated at Summit, Mont., last fall. Summit, t~e apex of Marias pass on the continental divide of the Rocky mountains, is 12 miles west of Glacier park station and 164 miles from Great Falls and the obelisk stands on n line which separates the Lewis and Clark Natlonnl forest from the Flathead National forest. This memorial 1s a stone shaft, 60 feet high, standing on a 23-foot base and bearing two bronze tablets. The tablet facing the east has this inscription '"LEWIS AND CLARK NA.· :riONAL FOREST. Memorial to Theodore Roosevelt. This memorial was authorized by a bill introduced In t.be congress ot the United States of America by Representative Scott Leavitt, February 15, 1929, and approved by President Hoover on June 2, 1930." The Inscription on the tablet facing the west reads: '"FLATHEAD NATIONAL FOREST. Memorial to Theodore Roosevelt In commemoration of his leadership in the conservation of the forests of the United Stat~s. 'The forest problem Is In many ways the most vital International problem of the United States'-Theodore Roosevelt." The memorial stands on tbe Theodore Roosevelt International highway, extending 4,060 miles from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Ore. The torma.l opening to motor travel ot Marias pass, the last link In the Rooseve1t highway, took place In the summer o! 1930 with a celebration during which Miss Oorrlne Alsop. A. grandniece of Roosevelt, officiated at the laying of tlle cornerstone or the obelisk which was dedicated last fall. Last fall also saw the laying of the cornerstone of the New York Theodore Roosevelt memorial which is being erected by that stat¢ ns a part of the American Museum of Natural History in New York city to symbolize 'tthe scientific, educational, outdoor and ex_ploratlon aspects of Theodore Roosevelt's llfe." According to t11e plans o.t the architect, Jolm Russell Pope. (designer o! t11e memorial to be erected on Analostnn Island in Washington), the facade of the New York city Roosevelt memorial will be patterned after the trlamphal arches ot ancient Rome. The entrance arch wlll rise 60 teet above a base reached by spreading stairs, and is to be flanked by huge columns of granite. On the solid parapet which Is to surmount 1t will be cut the follo\vlng lnscrlptlon: "STATE OF NEW YORK MEMORIAL TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT. A. great leader ot the youth of America, in energy and fortitude, in the faith ot OUL fathers, ln defense of the rights of the people, In the love o..nd conservation of nature and of the best in life and In man.
