( )n the 2ist of ]vdy the design of Mr. Keller was accordingly adopted, and he was thereupcjn appointed a...rchitect of the memorial.
The design was but a slight sketch or study drawn to a very small scale, but sufficientl)^ in detail to give a general idea of the proposed memorial, in the development of which Mr, Keller was allowed am|)le latitude.
