Inscriptions

Inscribed on North Side quotation from John Greenleaf Whittier's poem:

Then lift that manly right hand,
Bold ploughman of the wave;
Its branded palm shall prophesy
Salvation to the slave.
Hold up its fire-wrought language,
That whoso reads may feel
His heart swell strong within him,
His sinews changed to steel.
