prometheus.jpg

There are several large sculptures around campus, none of which seem to generate much affection. This relief of Prometheus used to decorate the main entrance of Todd Hall before it got buried inside by a remodeling job.

Prometheus symbolizes education because he stole flame of learning and brought it to humanity; but this one has always looked to me as if he is clumsily dropping his torch.
