Excellent image. About the only downside is it looks a bit like the Great Prophets of G&K.
Well, just in case we're going to keep the "Mentor's hall", I've made an icon.
A bit anachronistic (looks like it may belong in the classical era) but it's still better than the icons for the garden, the bank and scientific theory, those all look like they belong in the modern era.

The word "mentor" has existed since Greek times and also fits in the modern era. Names like "scriptorium" don't make sense in the pre-writing era. "Stone circles" aren't a common form of education in the modern era.

After a few playthroughs of earlygame, I fully agree with #2 above. Sure, it's probably a good long term investment to build a MH - but I always find myself drawn to more immediate gains. The quicker social policies of the monument ensures I always build it first.
I do think that a straight science bonus is better for the Turn 0building, whereas the pop bonus is better off on the library.
Out of context I also agree that it makes more sense for the MH to have a flat boost and the library a pop-based one, but agree with Thal that it would be a no-brainer throwing early science out of whack.

Building a structure requiresor
, while population is just there, without any extra investment. It's similar in theory and subtly different in practice.
You're right that a village is more passive than a citizen, but the village doesn't do anything without a citizen to work it. An improvement+1citizen is more complex than 1citizen alone.
I don't see how that makes sense... could you explain it in more detail?
