just below that place, around the border
of Harvard Hill, the monument must have
been then and there broken.

The fact is, it was broken more than a

thereto: but I sincerely hope that the
Class of 1857 will use proper vigilance in
seeing that no other memorial stone of
such frail materials is substituted therefore.
