translation to earth, its progress and acceptance by man."

Below these murals, on the octagonal drum, is The Priestess of Culture,

The dome of the Rotunda is burnt orange, with the guilloche below it
worked out in turquoise green. Notice the great flower receptacles
filled with the reddish cryptomeria of Japan.

In front of the Rotunda is Ralph Stackpole's Kneeling Figure. She is a
devotee to art, beauty, truth, and kneels at the altar.

Among the trees along the pergola are many statues in bronze and marble.

Don't fail to see Janet Scudder's bewitching fountain figures as you
walk past the Pergola.

At the south, near the Pool, among the trees, sits St. Gauden's fine
"Lincoln."

Opposite is J. Q. A. Ward's statute of "Henry Ward Beecher."
