I was called to the anti-slavery office, where the box was taken. It had been arranged that when he arrived at his destination, three slow and distinct knocks should be given, to which he was to respond. Fear that he was crippled or dead was depicted in the faces of Miller McKim, William Still and a few others that stood around the box in the office.
Green shell lamp posts, by McKim, Mead & White, architects. Called "Pink Alley" by workmen during construction. Palaces on sides of court: to the north, Mines; to the south, Varied Industries. Lamp standards against walls, dark bronze, smoked ivory globes, by Faville. Flat Ionic columns, called pilasters, against walls, by Faville. Court of the Ages
He fell wounded at Chancellorsville, and while being carried off the field was struck a second time as he lay on the stretcher, and so he passed. There were fine fellows, too, in those days who stood on the other side: McKim, President of the Hasty Pudding Club, who fell in Virginia; W.H.F. Lee, who was in the Law School and whom I recall as a stalwart athlete rowing on the Charles.
Don't breathe this to any one, Mark, but if Harry does as well as he's doing now for two years, we'll rent the little house, and we're going to Baltimore for a year for a special course. Then you know he's devoted to Dr. McKim, he always calls him 'the chief, then he thinks maybe McKim will work him into his practice, he's getting old, you know, and that means New York!" "Oh, Ju, really!"
But the actual designers of the building did not rise to the height of it; and if any poetry is left in it, it is not their fault. Think what McKim might have accomplished on that site, and in those dimensions!
I am a McKim and I shall make good!" He reached for the bottle and placed it beside him on the pine table. He did not pour out the whisky, for he did not fear it only if he drank it need he fear. Just one little drink, and he was lost and he knew this.
When we entered the arch we looked up at the magnificent ceiling used by McKim, Mead & White, in panels, with a pictorial design beautifully colored by Guerin. "The blue up there blends into the deeper blue of the Dodge murals just beneath. Those murals are in exactly the right tone. They give strength to the arch. But they are weakened by being in the midst of so much heavy architecture.
We found Captain Fronte wi' his whole front blow'd out by a shell an' his shoulders kind o' tumbled in where his lungs belonged but thim eyes was lookin' straight at the hilltop. "An' Oi looked in 'em long for Oi loved him an' was glad. 'Cause Oi know'd Captain Fronte McKim was seein' hell an' enjoyin' it."
It won the approval of McKim, Mead & White, who declared that it made an ideal feature of the approach from the bay side to their Court of the Universe, then called the Court of the Sun and Stars. The next few months of preparation in New York meant getting the sculptors together and working out the designs.
These magnificent modern expressions of the arches erected by the old Romans to commemorate their triumphs were designed by McKim, Mead and White, the architects of the Court of the Universe, and are richly adorned with sculpture designed by various artists. In the attics are carved appropriate inscriptions selected by Porter Garnett, which will be found on succeeding pages.
