The Hoppins were brothers; in 1895 Ely had taken Francis's place in the Providence firm. ''The Brown Alumni Monthly'' (December 1900, p. 67) says both firms were the designers; ''The American Institute of Architects Quarterly Bulletin'' (vol. 4, 1903, p. 123) shows Hoppin & Ely, with Hoppin & Koen as "associated architects"</ref> The gates were the gift of Augustus Stout Van Wickle, class of 1876, who also gave the [[FitzRandolph Gateway]] at Princeton, built 1905, as a memorial to his ancestor Nathaniel FitzRandolph]]<eod>
