If you have been in the library, you are familiar with our "little man" who sits by the New Books display. Sometimes, he is dressed up for a holiday or a special event at CIA. Well, he was originally a fountain created by Herman N. Matzen, a faculty member, and presented to the school by the Alumni Association. It was at the front entrance of the Juniper Road building. When the building was demolished in the mid-1950s, the fountain was moved to the library, where it has remained ever since! Today's Flashback is an image of the program for the 1918 dedication of the sculpture along with a picture of the sculpture today.
