The Lincoln Statue that sat in front of the newly built Campus Center (now the Sparks Center) is the subject of one of my favorite Wabash stories. For those who have not heard it, here is the story from “Mr. Wabash” himself, Byron Trippet from his memoir, Wabash On My Mind.

Above we see the view out the President’s window including the statue on the porch of the Campus Center.
