6 WINNETKA, WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1922 COND CAR Tn HONOR LIELT. LY Congregational Church Full to Doors as Dinsmore Ely Tablet is Unveiled TABLET SHOWS LIFE Immortal Words Penned by Hero Inscribed in Bronze There was standing room only at the Winnetka Congregational church last Sunday morning when the mem- orial tablet to Lieutenant Dinsmore Ely was unveiled. As already stated in these columns, the tablet was designed by Prof. Chandler Stearns, professor of Archi- tectural Design in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as a labor of love. The tablet was executed by Ed- ward F. Caldwell and company of New York City. In the service of unveiling Rev. James Austin Richards, said: "Today we unveil and receive on behalf of the church a memorial tablet given by Dr. and Mrs. James O. Ely in memory of their distinguish-' ed son. True Winnetka Youth "Dinsmore Ely was born in Chica- g0 May 16, 1894. Most of his life was spent in Winnetka, where he attend ed the Horace Mann and New Trier schools, before going to the Chicago Latin School to complete his prepara- tion for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At the Institute he was a student of architecture and would have graduated in one more year when the shadow of the great war fell across his plans. "He went abroad with the first unit of the Technology Red Cross. Soon after arriving he entered the Lafayette Flying Corps, and later transferred to the Air Service of the United States. Four years ago last Tuesday he fell. Four years ago last Friday he died. Uttered Immortal Ideal "Athlete, poet, lover of nature and of little children, patriot and soldier because he believed his country's cause was rizht,u.. was given to him a few days before his death, in a letter otherwise filled with the common talk of an American soldier, to capture in a single sentence the highest ideal- ism of the American spirit and utter it in form immortal. "By the wish of his parents, that saying is given a place of honor on the tablet, and at their suggestion his memorial tablet is placed near the doors most used by the children of the church of which he and they and his brothers are mem- bers." The congregation then faced the tablet, beautifully concealed by two silk American flags, and stood in silence until the flags were dropped to the position where they seemed to be standing guard over the unveiled tablet. Mr. Richards continued. Tablet Expresses Life "The tablet is of bronze and of black marble. The designer writes that the governing thought in his work was that it must express life, not death. At the summit are the insignia of the Lafayette Flying Corps, encircled by a wreath of laurel and supported by palm branches and lilies, suggestive of victory in the service of France. The tablet reads: "It is an investment not a loss When a man dies for his country" DINSMORE ELY 1894 * *1918 Lafayette Flying Corps 2nd Lieut. Air Service S. C. U. S. A. Fell at Villacoublay Buried Cimetiere Des Gonards Versailles * * France Son of James Owen and Emma Dins- more Ely Beneath the inscription are the in- gignia of the American Air Service. During the progress of the design, a friend of Prof. Stearns suggested that the torches should be down turn- ed, as the traditional symbol of death. Prof. Stearns replied that was exactly what he did not want to con- vey and therefore put the torches upright to illumine the inscription, suggesting the fact that such noble words can never die. Typifies Service "Framing the tablet at the sides are broken columns surmounted by helmeted heads of the gods of war, suggesting the breaking of life by them. On the columns are oval shields carrying the initials of the United States and of the French Re- public. Woven into the design of the bronze base are fleurs de lis and stars, suggestive of Dinsmore's service in the forces of both France and America. By the use of cherubim flanking the inscription on the base, it is hoped to suggest that the spirit of Dinsmore is forever present with his proud but stricken parents." the pastor, | "Smilin" Through" Comes to Hoyburn May 8, 9, 10 Patrons of the Hoyburn theater, Davis street, Evanston, are looking forward with keen pleasure to the showing of the famous play "Smilin' Through," featuring Norma Talmadge, "Smilin" Through" will be shown at the Hoyburn three days, commenc- ing Monday, May 8.
