2) Bartholdi, French artist who designed the Statue of Liberty
3) Gustave Eiffel, the architect/engineer who designed the Statue's internal support system
4) Pulitzer, who used his newspaper to help raise funds for the pedestal
Lazarus, poet who wrote The New Colossus, to help raise funds for the pedestal
