city. It was installed as a drinking fountain in Golden Gate Park in 1894. Vandalism caused it to be relocated to the grounds of the De Young Museum. Later works Clarke modeled a set of four caryatides – Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter – for the Madison Avenue façade of the Appellate Division Courthouse of New York State, in Manhattan. He modeled a figure in staff of Captain Thomas Macdonough for the Dewey Arch, a temporary structure erected in Madison Square, Manhattan, to celebrate Admiral George Dewey's 1898 victory in the Spanish–American War. Clarke modeled an ornate bell for the gunboat USS Princeton (active 1898–1919). He modeled To Alma Mater (1900), a larger-than-life-size plaster sculpture group for his own alma mater, Princeton University, but it seems never to have been executed in bronze or marble. Honors Clarke was elected an associate of the National Academy of Design in 1902. George M. Reevs painted his "diploma" portrait. Clarke was a member of the National Sculpture Society, the National Arts Club, the Architectural League of New York and the Century Association. Personal On October 3, 1886, Clarke married Adelaide Knox, the daughter of Theodore Hand Knox and Adelaide Susan Jenney, in Geneva, Switzerland. The couple had three children: daughters Alma Adelaide Clarke and Beatrice Clarke Remington, and son Charles John Clarke, named for his grandfather and known as "Jack." Clarke lived in Europe for 11 years, and returned with his family to the United States in 1894. He hired architect Wilson Eyre to design an Arts & Crafts-style summer house and studio, "Fernbrook," in Lenox, Massachusetts. Completed in 1904, Clarke generally worked there from May to October. Clarke's brothers, Louis, John and James, were pioneers in automobile production. Louis Semple Clarke patented the porcelain-insulated sparkplug.
