Dear
Madam
,
Replying
to
your
letter
of
Nov
.
20
,
1952
, the
statue
on the
library
should
simply
be
called
"The
Student
". This
design
was
chosen
from
about
20
which
I
submitted
to the
architects
and
board
of
regents
. They
made
this
choice
because
it
was the
simplest
possible
expression
of the
meaning
of a
library
. The
round
forms
of the
statue
are
intended
to
harmonize
with the
Palouse
hills
in the
background
and to
contrast
with the
strong
vertical
and
horizontal
line
of the
building
. The
character
of the
figure
itself
is
patterned
after
the
tall
rangy
farm
boys
who
seemed
typical
of
your
students
. The
statue
is
carved
of
Indiana
limestone
,
60
tons
being
quarried
for the
job
, and the
finished
statue
weighs
about
25
tons
.
It
was
completed
in the
Fall
of
1949
,
after
about
a
years
work
. The
carving
was
done
in
Indiana
and
transported
by
freight
car
to
Pullman
.
I
appreciate
the
interest
you
are
taking
in this
work
and if there
is
any
further
information
you
desire
,
please
write
me
.
Very
truly
yours
,
Dudley
Pratt
