Pete Frederick spearheaded the project to relocate all Veteran’s memorial plaques to the renovated Memorial Stadium.  He also was instrumental in the commissioning and dedication of the 5 foot diameter, forged and fabricated stainless steel Wall Relief Sculpture.   The sculpture was paid for by Sphinx.  The Class of 1965 help defray the cost of moving the existing Memorials.  In addition the Class contributed to an endowment fund established to maintain the Memorials.

“The Hill Wind Knows Their Name” is the title of this 5 ft. diameter, forged and fabricated, stainless steel Wall Relief Sculpture for the newly renovated Memorial Stadium of Dartmouth College.

The lyrics are from the second half of the second verse of Dartmouth’s Alma Mater, to be sung only during times of war andlor in memory of Dartmouth Veterans:

…The Mother keeps them in her heart

And guides their altar flame;

The still North remembers them,

The hill-wind knows their name,

And the granite of New Hampshire

Keeps the record of their fame;

And the granite of New Hampshire

Keeps the record of their fame
