MacArthur Monument
Douglas MacArthur, Class of 1903, compiled a distinguished record in American military history. His more notable contributions include command of the 42nd "Rainbow" Division in World War I; superintendency of the U.S. Military Academy; service as supreme commander of the southwest Pacific areas in World War II; his role as military governor of Japan after World War II; and his service as supreme commander of U.N. forces in Korea. In 1962, 40 years after he served as Superintendent, he returned to West Point to receive the Thayer Award. At that time, he delivered his famous "Duty, Honor, Country" speech, which was his lasting tribute to the ideals of this institution.

The statue was sculpted by Walter Hancock and dedicated in 1969 by General MacArthur's wife, Jean.
