BabyCenter LLC is part of the Everyday Health Group, a division of Ziff Davis.

## History

BabyCenter was founded in October 1997 by Stanford University MBA graduates Matt Glickman and Mark Selcow, who recognized a need for information about pregnancy and parenting on the internet. BabyCenter was initially funded through $13.5 million in startup capital funding from venture capital firms, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Intel, and Trinity Ventures. The funds were used to open the BabyCenter Store in October 1998.

In the early years of its operation, BabyCenter offered multiple resources and services for parents, including a website that provided medically reviewed information and guidance to new and expectant parents on such topics as fertility, labor, and childcare; a weekly email for pregnant women tailored to their week of pregnancy (based on their pregnancy due date); and community groups and chat rooms for pregnant couples and parents to discuss pregnancy and child-rearing strategies.

The site grew quickly, and by early 1999 had 175 employees and an annual revenue of $35 million. In April of that year, the two founders sold BabyCenter to another website, eToys.com, for $190 million in stock. Twenty-three months later, in 2001, shortly before declaring bankruptcy, eToys sold the site to Johnson & Johnson for $10 million. During the eToys ownership, BabyCenter launched its first international E-commerce site in the UK during the spring of 2000.

Starting in 2005, BabyCenter launched an expansion plan, extending its global network to Australia, Canada and other countries, staffing each outpost with local editors. In 2007, BabyCenter debuted a Mandarin-language site in China, initiated operations in India, launched a Spanish language website, and introduced its first mobile site. BabyCenter released My Pregnancy Today, its first mobile app, to Apple's App Store in August 2010 and to the Android market in April 2011. The app provided daily information, nutrition tips, advice relevant to the user's week of pregnancy, and 3-D animated videos showcasing a baby's development in utero. The My Pregnancy app was joined by a My Baby Today app in October 2011. In 2015, BabyCenter released Mom Feed, its first mobile app for parents of toddlers and older children (ages 1 to 8). Mom Feed offered personalized, stage-based information as well as content from the BabyCenter Community and Blog in a real-time stream.

In 2016, BabyCenter launched its web-based Baby Names Finder. In 2018, Mom Feed was discontinued and BabyCenter replaced that experience with a separate Child Health content area on its website. Also in 2018, BabyCenter launched its mobile baby name generator, the Baby Names app, which, like the web-based Baby Names Finder, leverages data from hundreds of thousands of parents that culminates in its annual most popular Baby Names Report.

In 2019, Johnson & Johnson sold Baby Center to Everyday Health Group, a division of New York-based parent company of Ziff Davis, Inc. Neither side disclosed terms of the deal.

* BabyCenter's most popular baby names is released annually and often cited by the media.
* In March 2024, BabyCenter did a review of the app Temu and said that the website has found products that have been recalled, could be counterfeit or circumvent U.S. safety standards and features that are important in preventing issues like choking.

## Content and products

### Websites

BabyCenter has 9 country and region-specific websites around the world, including sites for the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, India, Germany, the United Kingdom, Latin America, and the Arabian Peninsula. Users can find parenting and pregnancy advice in seven languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, French, German, and Hindi

BabyCenter content for each country- or region-specific site is written by an editorial team based in that country or region. Medical and health content for each site is reviewed by a medical advisory board based there and adheres to that country or region's medical standards. For example, the U.S. site works with and follows the recommendations of such U.S. medical authorities as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Congress of Obstetrics & Gynecology and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine.

Content and features for BabyCentre UK and for BabyCenter in Canada, Australia, Brazil, India, Germany, and the Arabian Peninsula are managed by *Thrive*, a specialist health and behavior change communications agency.

BabyCenter regularly conducts research and provides thought leadership on pregnancy and parenting topics, popularly cited by major media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Insider, MarketWatch, Axios.

### Community, blogs and social

From its earliest days, BabyCenter has had a community area that allows people to join a group of parents with children born in the same month, known as a Birth Club. BabyCenter launched a blog called Momformation in 2007. Eventually, the name was changed to BabyCenter Blog.

In April 2021, the BabyCenter Community was identified in a research article within the journal PLOS Computational Biology as facilitating "unobstructed communication" between parents, which avoids the "strong echo chamber phenomena" that can foster and perpetuate vaccine misinformation.

### My Pregnancy and Baby Today App

The app is available in six languages, although not all features are supported for every market. Initially the apps only featured pregnancy articles that could be found on the BabyCenter website, but over the years the feature set has expanded to include a growing list of app-specific tools such as weekly fetal development information, a kick tracker, a birth plan worksheet, a contraction timer, a baby growth tracker, a photo journal for pregnant women to record their pregnancy bellies, and a photo journal for documenting a baby's first year.

### Mission Motherhood™

BabyCenter was a cofounder of the Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action (MAMA), a public-private partnership between USAID, Johnson & Johnson, the UN Foundation, and BabyCenter from 2011 to-to 2015. The MAMA program sparked the creation of MomConnect, an initiative of the South African Department of Health for which BabyCenter developed SMS messages with health information about pregnancy and a child’s first year of life.

BabyCenter helped develop similar messages for mMitra, a voice messaging program in India. A research article in the Maternal and Child Health Journal stated the mMitra program offered strong evidence “that tailored mobile phone voice messages can improve key infant care knowledge and practices that lead to improved infant health outcomes in low-resource settings.

BabyCenter’s Mission Motherhood Messages were available to qualifying organizations on the BabyCenter website.

BabyCenter contributed websites for Free Basics. These websites featured age and stage-based pregnancy and baby articles targeted to low-income, lower-education women who would not otherwise have access to health information. Content developed for this program was also used to support a Unicef SMS program during the 2016 Zika outbreak.

## Awards and recognition

In 1998, BabyCenter won a Webby Award for Best Home Site. Since then, it has been nominated for a Webby Award 19 times and won either a Webby or a People's Choice Webby Award 12 times – including a People's Voice win in 2021 for Lifestyle websites and mobile sites.

In 2002, it won Service Journalism award from Online Journalism Awards (OJA).

BabyCenter has also won numerous other awards for its editorial content. In 2015, BabyCenter won five Digital Health Awards for content about autism in children. In 2016, BabyCenter won seven Digital Health Awards: four for videos about the aches and pains of pregnancy, baby sleep, and the walking milestone in child development; two for articles about baby sleep training and sleep apnea in babies; and one for the BabyCenter mobile app My Pregnancy & Baby Today. In 2021, Forbes Health chose My Pregnancy & Baby Today as the best pregnancy app of 2021, and Women’s Health identified it as one of the best pregnancy apps of the year.

# 1899 Oldham by-election

The **1899 Oldham by-election** occurred in the summer of that year, and involved a by-election to fill both seats in the two-member Oldham Parliamentary borough. The block voting method allowed each elector to vote for two candidates.

The election resulted in the Liberal Party winning both seats from the Conservatives who had previously held them, but the election is notable mainly for being the first to be fought by future Conservative Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.

## Background

At the beginning of 1899, the two members of parliament for Oldham were Robert Ascroft and James Oswald. However, Oswald had been chronically ill for many months and had been absent from his Parliamentary duties and his constituency. He had indicated that he would not seek re-election and left a resignation note with the Conservative Party and instructed them to use it if they thought it to be expedient. Ascroft was an active in Parliament but was struck down with pneumonia at his home in Croydon on 12 June, becoming partially unconscious. Over the next few days, his condition did not improve, and by 18 June there was said to be "very little hope". He died on the afternoon of 19 June.

Ascroft's sudden death created an opportunity for the Conservative Party to use Oswald's resignation note and hold a double by-election, but the party delayed the decision until Ascroft's funeral, on 23 June. It was later observed that Ascroft had been very popular in the town but failed to maintain a group of election campaign workers, presumably in the hope that his personal support would be enough. The forcing of a by-election therefore surprised Oldham Conservatives.

Nevertheless, on 26 June, Oswald's resignation note was sent in and so he was appointed Steward of the Manor of Northstead as a way of resigning his seat.

## Candidates

Before his illness, Ascroft had already met with Churchill at the House of Commons to ask him to replace Oswald and run as the second candidate at the next election. The date of a joint follow-up meeting in Oldham had been fixed for some time when Churchill noticed in the newspapers that Ascroft had died. The Conservative Party officers met in Oldham on the evening of 23 June as arranged to hear from Churchill and unanimously adopted him as the party's candidate for the single by-election to replace Ascroft. The meeting then decided to leave the question of a second candidate to another meeting on the following night. Churchill was known principally as the son of Lord Randolph Churchill, a senior Conservative politician who had died four years earlier. Although only 24, the young Churchill had begun a journalistic career as a war correspondent with the *Morning Post*. According to one observer, society then knew Churchill as "a brilliant and irrepressible talker".

The second Conservative candidate turned out to be James Mawdsley, who was secretary of the Amalgamated Association of Operative Cotton Spinners, an unusual case of a Conservative who was an active trade unionist. The choice of Mawdsley as Conservative candidate had been kept secret and surprised several Conservatives, who were not in the very small meeting at which the candidates were adopted. There was some discussion of which of the two very different Conservative candidates, the aristocrat or the labour representative, would be more popular in Oldham.

Only one name was initially put forward for the Liberal Party selection, that of Alfred Emmott; however, by the time the selection meeting took place on the evening of Monday 26 June it was clear that there would be a double vacancy and so he was adopted together with Walter Runciman. Emmott had been a member of Oldham Corporation for nearly 20 years and was the town's mayor in 1891 to 1892. He had been invited but declined the offer of the Liberal candidacy in 1886. Runciman was the 28-year-old son of Walter Runciman, 1st Baron Runciman, a shipping magnate.

## Campaign

The writ for a new election for both seats was moved in the House of Commons by the Conservative chief whip William Walrond on Tuesday 27 June. Polling day was set for Thursday 6 July.

As the previous election had been close, the by-election campaign was an intense one in which the candidates addressed meetings "at breakfast time, during the dinner hour, and in the evening". One of the main campaign issues was the Clerical Tithes Bill, which the Conservative-dominated government was promoting, which would give additional help to Church of England clergy and to Church schools. Oldham included many Nonconformists who were opposed to the Bill. When the issue of the Bill was raised, the Liberal candidates opposed it, arguing that Parliament was not the place to discuss matters of faith. Churchill initially supported it on the basis that legislation was needed to maintain law and order.

A Protestant delegation representing several organisations was pleased with the pledge to support the Bill and strongly endorsed Churchill and Mawdsley. However, when Churchill, who later admitted that he knew nothing of the issue, found out how unpopular the Bill was, he declared in a speech three days before polling day that he would have voted against it, in accordance with the wishes of his constituents.

Churchill made a campaigning visit to Hollinwood, then known as a strongly anti-Conservative area, as his father had done in previous elections. His appearance prompted a heckler to declare, "Eh, lad, thou art a chip of t'owd block". On 3 July, the two Conservative candidates received a delegation on women's suffrage, to which Churchill declared himself opposed, as it would lessen the respect for women "which all men very rightly have". Mawdsley, however, declared his support.

The presence of trade unionist Mawdsley as a Conservative candidate caused some degree of protest. The Royton branch of his union passed, 107 to 54, a motion protesting at his candidature, and Mawdsley was asked why he had not come forward as a Labour candidate when he was invited to in 1895. Mawdsley replied that there had been a decision to run two candidates: one being Liberal-Labour and the other (himself) a Conservative-Labour candidate. He further said that he would support a Liberal-Labour candidate. The Independent Labour Party, despite not standing a candidate, held a meeting, calling on working men to free themselves from both established parties.

It was reported that the Conservatives accepted Mawdsley as a candidate on the assumption that if elected, he would be allowed to express his own views on trade union issues.

## Results

On polling day, the Conservatives were said to have been outnumbered by Liberals in the number of carriages conveying voters to the polls, by 130 to 90. Lady Randolph Churchill turned up in a striking blue dress and sunshade. Churchill himself tried to obtain a motor car from Coventry to bring voters to the polls, but it broke down at Stafford and never arrived. Polling closed at 8 pm.

Shortly after 11 pm the result was announced from the town hall:

By-election 1899: Oldham (2 seats)
| Party | | Candidate | Votes | % | ±% |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  | **Liberal** | **Alfred Emmott** | **12,976** | **26.7** | **+2.1** |

|  | Liberal **gain** from Conservative | | Swing | +2.4 |  |
|  | Liberal **gain** from Conservative | | Swing | +1.8 |  |

## Aftermath

The loss of both seats caused some recriminations in Conservative circles. Henry Howorth, in a letter to *The Times*, took it as an object lesson that "playing at pitch and toss" with Conservative principles would not lead to a victory and that it was better that the party went into opposition than "surrender to every Socialistic demand".

Churchill had impressed as an election candidate, being described as "working like a Trojan". However, the correspondent for *The Times* felt that his speeches concentrated more on good phrases than on good arguments and that his popularity was superficial.

# Esenlik Mosque

**Esenlik Mosque** is a historical mosque in Esenlik, Bulanık, Muş, Turkey.

## History

It was built by the Seljuks. It was built by Sheikh Abdülmelik in 1194. Ahlat stone was used. It is a building with a single dome, four windows and two doors. It is understood from the inscription on the crown gate that the mosque was built by the Artuqids in 725/1325. The mosque was last restored in 1985 by the General Directorate of Foundations. Esenlik mosque was previously a monastery.

Şeyh Abdülmelik Mosque was built in 725 H./1325 A.D. according to the two-line Arabic inscription carved into stone, located on the crown gate in the north direction (Kulağuz, 1997, 46; Günes, 2003, 67–68). It is known that during the period in question, Sutaylis, whom Abu Said Bahadır Khan sent as governors, were dominant in Muş and Bulanık.

> The construction of this holy mosque was ordered in the month of Rajab in the year 725, hoping for the consent of Allah almighty and wishing for much reward. (Kulağuz, 1997, 47; Güneş, 2003, 67-68).

abstract: Presidential elections were held in the Republic of the Congo on 10 March 2002. They followed the country's second civil war (1997-1999), which returned Denis Sassou Nguesso to power, and a subsequent transitional period, in which a new constitution was written and approved by referendum in January 2002. The election lacked meaningful opposition participation, as the main opposition leaders—particularly former President Pascal Lissouba of the Pan-African Union for Social Democracy (UPADS) and former Prime Minister Bernard Kolélas of the Congolese Movement for Democracy and Integral Development (MCDDI)—were in exile, prevented from returning to Congo by legal convictions and sentences that were handed down in absentia. The only important opposition figure left to contest the election was former Prime Minister André Milongo of the Union for Democracy and the Republic (UDR), but he withdrew a few days before the election, claiming that it would be fraudulent. Sassou Nguesso, standing as the candidate of his own Congolese Labour Party (PCT) and a coalition, the United Democratic Forces (FDU), was overwhelmingly elected, receiving nearly 90% of the vote against a field of minor challengers. He was sworn in on 14 August 2002 in a ceremony at the Palace of Congress in Brazzaville in the presence of seven other African heads of state.

title: 2001 Boise State Broncos football team

abstract: The 2001 Boise State Broncos football team represented Boise State University in the 2001 NCAA Division I-A football season. The Broncos competed in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and played their home games at Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho. The Broncos were led by first-year head coach Dan Hawkins. The Broncos went 8–4 overall and 6–2 in WAC play, in a tie for second place. This was their first year in the WAC after leaving the Big West Conference, which dropped football. Despite finishing bowl eligible, Boise State was not invited to a bowl game. The loss to Washington State of the Pac-10 on September 8 was BSU's last regular season loss at Bronco Stadium for over a decade. Two weeks later, they began a 65-game regular season home winning streak that continued through October 2011. This was the first season that BSU and rival Idaho were not in the same conference since 1969, when the Broncos were an NAIA independent. This prompted the introduction of the Governor's Trophy by UI alumnus Dirk Kempthorne to continue the series. The first game for the trophy was easily won by BSU and ironically played out of state, in Pullman, Washington. Idaho joined the WAC in 2005 and it returned to a conference game for six seasons. BSU joined the Mountain West Conference after the 2010 season; that was the most recent meeting and the Broncos hold a twelve-game winning streak over the Vandals, who last won in 1998.

# BFV Hassia Bingen

The **BFV Hassia Bingen** is a German association football club from the city of Bingen am Rhein, Rhineland-Palatinate. It last played at the highest level of German football in 1952–53 and reached the third round of the German Cup twice.

## History

### 1910–1945

BFV Hassia (*Hassia* is the Latin name for Hesse) was formed in 1910, but football was first played in Bingen under the name of *Hassia* in 1908.

In 1926 the club played in the top division level of football in the region, when it earned promotion to the Bezirksliga Rheinhessen-Saar. It finished fifth in this league out of ten clubs in its first season there, after which the league was disbanded. The team become part of the new tier-one Bezirksliga Main-Hessen, where it was to play for the next three seasons, being relegated in 1930 after a last-place finish.

Hassia won promotion to the Bezirksliga for the 1933–34 season, but the Nazis seized power that year and scrapped the Bezirksliga, introducing a Gauliga system instead, which reduced the number of top leagues in Germany to 16, without expanding the number of clubs in each. Hassia was not admitted to the new Gauliga Südwest/Mainhessen at all, up to the dissolution of the Gauliga system in 1945.

### 1945–1963

In post-war Germany, Hassia was grouped in the northern division of the tier-one Oberliga Südwest for the 1945–46 season. At this level, the team lasted for only one season before dropping back to the second level.

Football in the South West region of Germany was split at this level into three divisions: Vorderpfalz, Westpfalz and Rheinhessen. The club played in the Rheinhessen division without coming close to promotion in the coming years. In 1951, Hassia became one of four teams from this league to gain entry to the newly created 2nd Oberliga Südwest, the new second division in the region.

In its first season there, the team finished third, with all teams on places one to four on equal points. This, however, was enough for Hassia to return to the Oberliga.

In its last first division season the club finished last with three points out of 30 games, without a win all season, scoring 32 goals and conceding 142 goals. The following 2nd Oberliga season went better and the team finished sixth. After a seventh place the following year, the club came last once more in 1955–56 and was relegated to the tier-three Amateurliga Südwest.

The club took out the championship in this league in 1957 and 1959. In 1957, the team failed in the promotion round, coming last out of four clubs, but in 1959 it won its group without losing a game and returned to the 2nd Oberliga. The later allowed Hassia to take part in the German amateur football championship, where it went out to FC Singen 04 in the semi-finals.

From 1959 to 1963, Hassia played as a mid-table side in the second division but its results were not good enough to qualify it for the new second-tier Regionalliga Südwest when the Fußball-Bundesliga was introduced in 1963 and the club made a permanent departure from the second level as well.

### 1963–2006

Hassia returned to the Amateurliga, a league it would belong to until 1968, finishing in mid-table. In 1967–68, the club suffered another relegation, now to the fourth tier. It took until 1974 to recover from this and return to the Amateurliga.

In 1974, Hassia also opened its new stadium, which had to be sold to the city of Bingen in 1986.

The team entered the first round of the German Cup for the first time in 1975, advancing to the third round, where it was knocked out by SV Röchling Völklingen.

In 1976–77, the club had one more excellent season, finishing second on equal points with champions Wormatia Worms. Qualified for the German amateur championship once more, it went out in the quarter-finals to BFC Preussen. Additionally, it also played in the national cup once more, advancing to the third round after victories over 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 and Sportfreunde Eisbachtal, where it lost 2–1 to SpVgg Bayreuth. The following year, another second place was enough to qualify Hassia for the new Oberliga Südwest. It also made an appearance in the German Cup, losing 1–0 to Stuttgarter Kickers.

The team became a fixture in this league, spending 23 of 28 possible seasons in it until 2006. Only from 1991 to 1994 and again from 2001 to 2003 did the side play in the tier below, now the Verbandsliga Südwest. Its best performance in this era was a fourth place in 1984 and 1996. The five seasons spend in the Verbandsliga in this time, the team always finished in the top-three. It also took part in the first round of the German Cup three more times. In 1981 it advanced to the second round after a victory over SpVgg Landshut; in 1983 and 1986 it was knocked out in the first.

On 2 October 1983 Hassia player Jürgen Wilhelm scored a goal for the club against FC Homburg that was voted as the Goal of the month by German television station ARD. This goal then went on to win the Goal of the year award.

### 2006–present

After finishing second to last in 2005–06 in the Oberliga, with only the insolvent SV Weingarten below the club, the team was relegated to the Verbandsliga once more. Back in what was now the fifth division, Hassia struggled, unlike on previous occasions, coming ninth and eleventh in the next two seasons. The club, however, did not share the fate of many other former Oberliga greats who dropped down the league system and recovered. A league title in 2008–09 meant a return to the Oberliga once more for 2009–10.

The club lasted for only one season in the Oberliga before returning to the Verbandsliga where it played until 2013 when another relegation meant a drop to the Landesliga. A championship at this level in 2015 took the club back up to the Verbandsliga.

In 2018, the club achieved promotion to the Oberliga after a second-place finish in the Verbandsliga.

# Equestrian statue of Thomas Munro

The **statue of Thomas Munro** is an equestrian statue of Thomas Munro, 1st Baronet, Major-General in the British Army and Governor of Madras from 1820 to 1827, located in the city of Chennai, India. The bronze statue sculpted by Francis Chantrey in the United Kingdom in 1834 and shipped to Madras in 1839, is one of the popular landmarks in Chennai. The absence of stirrups is one of the peculiarities of the statue and for this reason, it is also referred to as **"The Stirrupless Majesty"**.

## Thomas Munro

Thomas Munro was one of the most popular British administrators in South India. Born in Glasgow in 1761, Munro arrived in India as a soldier in 1789 and fought with distinction in the Anglo-Mysore Wars. At the end of the war, he served as a settlement officer in Canara and later, Bellary. He also fought in the Pindari War (1817). In 1820, Munro was appointed Governor of Madras and served till his death from cholera in 1827. Munro is credited with having introduced the Ryotwari System in South India and drafting an education policy for the Madras Presidency. He also supported a larger share for natives in the administration of India. Munro is the subject of a number of folk tales and ballads and is even worshipped by some.

## Death of Thomas Munro

Munro's term as Governor of Madras came to an end in 1826. As there was a delay in appointing a new Governor, Munro decided to visit the Ceded Districts of the Madras Presidency, where he had served as a settlement officer in the early 19th century, in the meantime. As he was riding through the hills of Cuddapah District along with a mixed retinue of Europeans and Indians, Munro observed a golden, thread-like glow across two hills. He remarked

> What a beautiful garland of flowers they have stretched across the valley!

His followers were perplexed as the garland was not visible to anyone. At length, an old Indian in the retinue reportedly replied, with sorrow:

> Alas! a great and good man will soon die!

After spending a few days at Ananthapur, Thomas Munro and his party reached Gooty on 4 July 1827. At Gooty, some of his men were afflicted with cholera. Two days later, at Pattikonda, Munro caught cholera from his men and had to be nursed. His condition deteriorated in the evening and he died at half-past-nine on 6 July 1827.

Munro was buried at a graveyard in Gooty. In April 1831, his remains were transported to Madras and interred in the St. Mary's Church, Fort St. George.

## Construction

When the news of Munro's death reached Madras, it was mourned by all classes of people in the city. The government issued a Gazette Extraordinary on 9 July 1827 with the message:

> His sound and vigorous understanding, his transcendent talents, his indefatigable application, his varied stores of knowledge, his attainments as an Oriental scholar, his intimate acquaintance with the habits and feelings of native soldiers and inhabitants generally, his patience, temper and facility of access, and kindness of manner would have ensured him distinction in any line of employment. These qualities were admirably adapted to the duties which he had to perform in organizing the resources, and establishing the tranquility of those provinces where his latest breath has been drawn, and where he has long been known with the appellation of the *Father* of the People

A public meeting was soon held in his memory in Madras city in which was made a proposal to erect a statue to Munro through public subscription. The Madras government opened a memorial for Munro in the town of Pattikonda where he had died. A choultry called "Munro Choultry" was erected in Gooty in his honour.

A total of nine thousand pounds (£8000, according to some sources) were collected through public subscription and the British sculptor Francis Chantrey was commissioned to make the statue. Chantrey completed the statue in 1834 - one of the three equestrian statues sculpted by him. According to a popular belief, the Duke of Wellington, on seeing the completed statue, had exclaimed

> A very fine horse; a very fine statue, and a very extraordinary man

The statue, weighing six tonnes, was shipped to India in three parts and erected at The Island, Chennai in 1839 atop a granite plinth made by Ostheider & Co of Calcutta. The statue was ceremonially opened on 23 October 1839.

## Architecture

The statue depicts Thomas Munro riding a horse. In doing so, Chantrey had opted to follow, for commemorative purposes, the prevalent Western practice of portraying authority. It is believed that Chantrey might have modelled the statue upon his own earlier work of George IV at Trafalgar Square, London. This might have been intended to elevate Munro above the Indians whose cause he championed. Chantrey was, initially, caught in a dilemma over the choice of steed. While some of his friends and visitors suggested a classic horse, some suggested an Arabian, others a war horse. Eventually, Chantrey chose an Arab, similar to the one he had sculpted for his statue of George IV. One particular biography of Francis Chantrey considered the sculpture of Thomas Munro to be the finest among Chantrey's works and the horse, his worst ever.

The combined height of the horse and the rider is more than 15 feet. The horse gazes calmly while Munro strikes a thoughtful pose, both still, yet ready to lunge forward into motion.

## Peculiarity

The peculiarity of the statue is the absence of a saddle as well as the stirrups. While some feel that the omission is due to an oversight on the part of the sculptor, others feel that the saddle and the stirrups might have been deliberately excluded keeping in mind Munro's penchant for bareback riding. Due to the absence of stirrups, the statue is also occasionally referred to as "The Stirrupless Majesty".

## Historical references

Captain Hervey has been credited with popularizing an anecdote connected with Munro's statue

> ... I was one day driving by the monument when I saw an old man in a red coat, with three chevrons on his right arm. standing leaning on his staff, and gazing silently on the exalted statue. He was evidently an old pensioner, not only from his dress, but from a certain degree of military carriage in his *tout ensemble*, which there was no mistaking. Out of curiosity I stopped my buggy, got out, and addressed the veteran. "What are you looking at, my fine old fellow?", enquired I. "Do you know who that is intended to represent?" "Who can have known the great Sir Thomas Munro?", replied the old man, "without remembering him? And who can have known him without loving him? And how can I, who had served under him for many years, ever forget him?"
>
> "Then you think that is a good likeness of our Governor-you recognize the face?" asked I.
>
> "Yes sir", said he. "It is a good likeness, but we shall never again see any like him. He was indeed the friend of the Indian, whether a sepoy or a ryot at the plough. And Madras will never again have a Governor like him." And raising his hand to the head, he gave the old-fashioned salute, lifted up his bundle and walked off, mumbling to himself about the impropriety of crows being allowed to build nests on the top, and to dirt over the head of the greatest man of his age.

## Proposed removal

During the World Classical Tamil Conference held in Coimbatore in 2010, there were demands to remove the statue of Thomas Munro, evoking strong protests from conservationists. Though the government had arrived at a decision to remove the statue, it has not yet been implemented.
