When finished it was said to be the largest modern monolithic granite monument in the world. The central figure representing Faith is 36 feet high. The seated figures on the four sides represent Freedom, Education, Law and Morality. In the end of the buttress is a fine alto relievo, by Conrad, representing the departure of the Pilgrims from Delft Haven. It was given by the State of Connecticut.

Education on the south buttress, was the gift of Roland Mather, of Hartford, Conn. This represents a seated female figure. A laurel wreath encircles her brow and her left hand supports an open book on which the right forefinger rests.

On one side of her throne is a small group representing "Youth Led by Experience", and on the other side is "Wisdom Ripe with Years." In the end of this buttress is a marble alto relievo, also the gift of Mr. Mather, which represents the scene in the cabin of the Mayflower when the compact was signed by the Pilgrims— that simple agreement on which is based the government of this country.

Freedom is similar in size to the other statues, weighing about eighteen tons. It is represented by a man of heroic build, seated with the left foot resting on a broken chain. On the right arm rests a short Roman sword, while a helmet covers his head. His face has a firm, set mouth, Roman nose and a slightly stern expression. The lion's skin of Hercules rests on his massive shoulders. The small statues on the side of his seat represent "Peace" and "Tyranny Overthrown by Freedom." The alto relievo panel is a fine piece of work. It represents the exploring party which came in

the shallop from Province town Dec. 21, 1620, reaching shore.

The statute of Law is in a judge's robes. A volume is on the left knee. The forhead and brow somewhat resemble those of Daniel Webster. It was given by the legal fraternity of the country. On one side of Law is a statue of Justice, and on the other Mercy.

The subject of the fourth marble alto relievo is "The Treaty with Massassoit". The scene is laid in an unoccupied house, the roughly hewn logs forming the background. In the centre is Massassoit, with the peace pipe in his hand. Squanto, the interpreter, is behind the table, and Governor Carver holds the important document in his hands, while John Alden sits at the table, near the inkhorn, and Miles Standish stands near by, one hand on his ready sword, and the alarm drum near by.

The monument stands in the centre of a plateau, some 400 feet in diameter, with a strip of grass forty feet wide around it, and a driveway fifty feet wide and two fifths of a mile long compassing the structure.
