Hall of Fame, a building on the grounds of the New York University, erected as a memorial to famous Americans and completed in 1900. It consists of a colonnade 400 feet long, with provisions for 150 panels, two feet by six, each to bear the name of a famous American. Only persons who have been dead ten years or more and were born in territory of the United States were originally eligible. Fifty names were to be inscribed at the beginning, and five additional names were to be added every fifth year until the year 2000, when the 150 inscriptions will be completed. The nominations of the public were invited, and these, on being seconded by the senate of the University, were submitted to a board of one hundred judges, eminent citizens chosen by the council. The rule requires that no one who receives less than fifty-one votes can be accepted. In 1900, of the 252 names submitted, twenty-nine received the required number of votes; the following were chosen: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Webster, Benjamin Franklin, Ulysses S. Grant, John Marshall, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph W. Emerson, Henry W. Longfellow, Robert Fulton, Washington Irving, Jonathan Edwards, Samuel F. B. Morse, David G. Farragut, Henry Clay, Nathaniel Hawthorne, George Peabody, Robert E. Lee, Peter Cooper, Eli Whitney, John Audubon. Horace Mann, Henry Ward Beecher, James Kent, Joseph Story, John Adams, William E. Channing, Gilbert Stuart, Asa Gray. In 1904 it was decided that additions should be made to the original hall of a small hall for foreign'-born Americans and of a hall for women. In 1905 the following were added: John Q. Adams, James R. Lowell, William T. Sherman, James Madison, John G. Whittier, Alexander Hamilton, Louis Agassiz, John Paul Jones, Mary Lyon, Emma Willard and Marie Mitchell.
