Contents
As a part of bequest of George Artemas Ward, great grandson of the general, to Harvard University, the sculpture was funded for $50,000. Increases in the cost of bronze made an equestrian memorial un-affordable.
It was dedicated on November 3, 1938, and authorized by (45 Stat. 689). The base of the statue bears this inscription:
ARTEMAS WARD
1727-1800
SON OF MASSACHUSETTS
GRADUATE OF HARVARD COLLEGE
