Remarks:
Weiner was artist-in-residence at the University in the Summer of 1962. The sculpture was originally placed at the west entrance to the new Fine Arts-Music Building completed that summer. Over the years, because of University growth and construction, the piece was moved and eventually sited at its current location near the Student Union building.
