In addition, starting in 1912, Hinckley began building memorials -- generally stone structures -- around the trails and other campus features.

Hinckley saw the memorials a way to remember the past, to inspire viewers by the lives of those memorialized, and to look to the future.

Hinckley was especially inspired by "Adirondack Murray" and built the Murray tablets in his honor.

William Henry Harrison Murray often is called the "father of the Outdoor movement."
