The Sower Returns

East Campus fixture gets a cleaning

Ten months after it disappeared from its East Campus pedestal, the Sower is back. Facilities Management Department returned the statue last week after it was sent to Ohio for cleaning and repair. It was sent to the same facility as the statue of James B. Duke, which returned earlier this semester. The Sower originally came to Trinity College in 1914 as a gift of James B. Duke. Of all the statuary on campus, it is the only one not depicting a member of the Duke family or an historical figure of the college or university.
