Memorial Plaques of Augustus Porter Thompson and Augustus Porter Thompson

Two inlaid plaques on stone. Both have a branch with leaves and berries in the top left corner. The top one has a curved top edge and reads "In Memory of / AUGUSTUS / PORTER / THOMPSON '92 / 1873-1939". The bottom one is sqaure and reads "In Memory of / AUGUSTUS / PORTER / THOMPSON '28 / 1909-1929".

These plaques are likely connected to the Thompson Memorial, which was built for Augustus Porter Thompson, P. A. Class of 1892, who was the sanctuary's first manager, and Augustus Porter Thompson, Jr. P. A. Class of 1928, who died a year after graduating. The memorial is a stone bench and the concave stone placed on the top of a hill to overlook the skyline of the campus.
