    Description: 
    A sculpture of Saint Ignatius, composed of welded and cast sections of polished silicon bronze. Ignatius is kneeling, with a book of scripture underneath him, his proper right hand with armored gauntlet resting on the book. He holds a sword in his proper left hand. The sword looks like a cross. The sculpture rests on a base composed of a metal trapezoid atop a triangular marble support, mounted on a three-sided bottom section, clad in violet granite. The sculpture rests in a circular stone fountain covered with ceramic tiles. Water jets from the fountain hit the sculpture.

    Remarks: 
    The sculpture commemorates St. Ignatius (1491-1556), founder of the Society of Jesus. The sculpture was commissioned by the University of Scranton. It was blessed and dedicated on October 24, 1988 by Father General Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, officially marking the University's centennial year. The Greek title of the piece means transformation, and the sculpture symbolizes the moment when Inigo turns his life to God, changing from soldier to saint. The fountain was donated by Elizabeth Brennan Redington. It was designed to surround the base of the sculpture. The fountain was dedicated in the Spring of 1988.
    The artist was assisted by apprentices James Helme and Robert Reakes. Engineering and tactical support was provided by Eugene R. and Conrad D. Baut and Robert Jevin. Computer programming was developed in coordination with Dr. Kevin Nordberg of the University of Scranton. All portions of the metalwork and modeling were made by Baut Studio, Inc., Swoyerville, Pennsylvania. The fountain setting was designed in cooperation with David Leung of Leung, Hemmler & Cammayd of Scranton. Wm. Hobbs Ltd. was the fabricator.
