The walls of the Memorial Hall Transept hold 28 white marble tablets bearing the names of 136 Harvard associates who fell on behalf of the United States Army and Navy during the Civil War. The youngest, Sumner Paine, class of 1865, fell at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, two years before his intended graduation. The Paul Joseph Revere (plaque 5) listed is the grandson of the famous Paul Revere.
Note: Order begins at the right of the central entrance to Annenberg Hall. Each entry lists the class year, the name of the name of the soldier, and the date of death. In some cases, the location of the battle is also included.
