Then on a beautiful Autumn afternoon, October 29, 1914, they assembled in the Park with members of the Longfellow family and guests of honor to take part in the unveiling ceremony of the Long- fellow Memorial Monument. 17 The dedicatory address was made by the President of the Association, Dr. Charles W. Eliot, who said as he stood beside the monu- ment: "The Longfellow Memorial Association was es- tablished shordy after the death of Henry Wads- worth Longfellow in 1882. It early secured this p...iece of land between Brattle Street and Mt. Auburn Street on which we are standing, and later the piece across Mt. Auburn Street which reaches to the Parkway and the River. In his own life- time, Longfellow and a few friends had given to Harvard University the marshes on the opposite side of the River to be kept forever open. Thus, the beautiful prospect from the southern windows of the house where Washington made his head- quarters, and Longfellow worked through many happy years, was secured in perpetuity for the enjoyment of all who pass along these two much- travelled thoroughfares, or visit yonder historic house or these memorial grounds.
