    Owner: 
    Ripon College, North of Seward Street, Ripon, Wisconsin 54971
    Remarks: 
    Presented to Ripon College by Clarence Addison Shaler. Unveiled on June 11, 1939. Ripon is reportedly the birthplace of the Republican Party.
    A tablet originally on base, now missing read: This statue, presented to Ripon College by the artist, Clarence Addison Shaler, represents the man Lincoln as he was at the outset of his public career. His character formed by his early hardships in the wilderness, partakes of the strength of the oak, tempered by the warmth of his human sympathies. He is leaving that early environment in pursuit of an unknown destiny, untouched as yet by tragedy, betrayal, and disillusionment,--a man at the noon of his powers, which his high resolve has already dedicated to the good of this country and of mankind.
