There are a large number of memorials both on campus and around town.
See
Recreation and Park Commission 2006-11-01 minutes pages 10 and 13 for information on the status of the proposed Memorial Donation Policy of the City of Davis. Donation of benches has been suspended until the policy is put in place.
