The Wendell Phillips Hall Association is incorporated for the purpose of erecting a Memorial Building in commemoration of the life and public Services of Wendell Phillips. Gen. B. F. Butler is President, and Ex-Gov. J. Q. A. Brackett, Trensurer, with a representative and efficient Board of Directors.

The building is to be centrally located and contain a large hall and several smaller audience, committee and class rooms, constituting essentially a "Cooper Union" for Boston, with memorial features, which will make it stand to the period it commemorates as Pilgrim Hall and Forefathers' Monument to the settlement of Plymouth, or as Bunker Hill Monument, the old South Church and Faneuil Hall to the Revolutionary' era.

In appropriate portions of the building will be stained glass windows, paintings, and bas-reliefs portraying the most thrilling episodes in Phillips' life, including his famous Faneuil Hall speech; also, scenes from the live? of Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, John Brown and others, from the shooting of Lovejoy, at Alton, III., to the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln. There will he a museum for the preservation of Souvenirs, letters and documents pertaining to the period.

A lectureship resembling those of the Lowell Institute, and classes for economic and industrial training, are to be established in connection with the hall, also a well equipped reading-room and library. The movement does not represent any one class, but aims to bring rich and poor, employer and employed, into sympathetic and mutually helpful relations.

Believing that many will esteem it a privilege to contribute something in aid of the model memorial and educational Institution of the age. convenient envelopes have been prepared, and you are earnestly invited to do what you can to promote this worthy and great undertaking.

It is fitting that at least a hundred thousand persons should be represented in this tribute to Wendell Phillips.
