One of the most visible landmarks on campus is the Alumni Memorial Arch, located at the entrance to the university. The arch was dedicated by President Warren G. Harding to honor the Lincoln men who served in World War I. The Mary Dod Brown Memorial Chapel is at the center of campus religious activities. This Gothic structure was built in 1890 and contains a 300-seat main auditorium and a 200-seat fellowship hall. The Frederick Douglass Statue, a monument to the great abolitionist and orator, was donated by Lincoln alumni and brothers, Clyde Atwell ?37, Selwyn R. Atwell ?41 and Dr. George L. Atwell ?48 and originally unveiled and located at the center of campus during Homecoming week in October 1989. In 2011, the statue was relocated to a walkway between Frederick Douglass, McRary and Ashmun residence halls just beyond the campus Quad and the Thurgood Marshall Living Learning Center.
