has abstract	Ward Circle is a traffic circle at the intersection of Nebraska and Massachusetts Avenues in Northwest, Washington, D.C. The circle, totaling 30,243 sq ft (2,809.7 m2), is owned and administered by the National Park Service through its Rock Creek Park unit. On three sides is the campus of American University, while the fourth is occupied by the Nebraska Avenue Complex, a U.S. government facility. The circle was constructed and landscaped in the 1930s to display the 27.5-foot (8.4 m) bronze, memorial statue of Artemas Ward. Ward was the first Commander-in-Chief in the American Revolutionary War. Sculptor Leonard Crunelle created the statue over a three-year period, while the base and pedestal were built by J. F. Manning Co. The pedestal is made from Stony Creek granite. The president and fellows of Harvard University donated the $50,000 to cover the cost of the statue. The donation fulfilled the terms of the will of Artemus Ward, an alumnus of Harvard and the great-grandson of Maj. Gen. Artemus Ward. The statue was unveiled on November 3, 1938, by Mrs. Wesley Feick, the great-great-granddaughter of Maj. Gen. Ward. Secretary of War Harry Hines Woodring spoke at the unveiling. Located on the west side of the circle, the home of American University's School of Public Affairs was named for and is still sometimes known as Ward Circle. In 2017, the official name of the building was changed to Kerwin Hall after former university president Cornelius M. Kerwin. On the North side of the circle is American University's Katzen Arts Center. (en) Ward Circle is een rotonde en plein in de Amerikaanse hoofdstad Washington D.C. Het ligt op de kruising van Massachusetts Avenue en in het noordwesten van de stad. Op en rond het plein ligt een plantsoen, Ward Circle Park geheten. Het plein wordt aan drie zijden omringd door gebouwen van de American University. Aan de vierde zijde staat het gebouw van het United States Department of Homeland Security, het ministerie van binnenlandse veiligheid. Het plein is vernoemd naar , een generaal in de Amerikaanse Onafhankelijkheidsoorlog. Midden op het plein staat een standbeeld van de generaal. De achterkleinzoon van Artemas Ward gaf meer dan een miljoen dollar aan de Harvard-universiteit, op voorwaarde dat die een standbeeld zou oprichten ter ere van Ward. In tegenstelling tot veel andere standbeelden van generaals in Washington, zit het beeld van Ward niet op een paard, omdat het oorspronkelijke bod van Harvard in 1927 van 50.000 dollar niet voldoende was om de generaal een paard te geven. Het standbeeld werd in 1938 voltooid. De inscriptie op de sokkel luidt: Artemas Ward, 1727-1800, son of MASSACHUSETTS, graduate of Harvard College, judge and legislator, delegate 1780-1781 to the Continental Congress , soldier of three wars, first commander of the Patriot Forces. ("Artemas Ward, 1727-1800, zoon van Massachusetts, afgestudeerd aan Harvard College, rechter en wetgever, Afgevaardigde 1780-1781 aan het Continental Congress, soldaat in drie oorlogen, eerste commandant van het Vaderlandse Leger").
