    Gift of Henry Waldo Coe, a Portland physician and professor of medicine at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. After seeing the Joan of Arc sculpture in Paris, Coe commissioned a casting of the sculpture as a monument to the American doughboys of World War I. Originally, the sculpture was gilded.
