4“Carolina Alumni Memorial in Memory of Those Lost in Military Service” — Some
people turn away from military memorials; protests of
this one were expected. Never happened. Reverent,
tasteful, thought-provoking. Front of Memorial Hall.

that mimics bead
patterns, off the
southeast corner
of the Pit. Can be
underappreciated
at ground level.
