    Remarks: 
    The figure is bolted to a low rock wall which runs the length of the Wittenberg University Student Union Building behind it. Students interact with the figure, which was a gift of the Wittenberg Guild. It was named "Wally Witt" by the students, and the name is used as a pseudonym by the authors of a weekly column addressing student concerns in "The Torch," the University's student newspaper.
