A Glimpse of Beautiful Things on Campus


   Do you see these two vases of flower? Aren't they beautiful? They are quietly in bloom at the corner of the building outside Harkness Hall.

   In the open place outside Harkness Hall, another curious thing we find is this statue. Do you know what does this statue symbolize? What does it look like?

   This is what Lusia learned from Kirk's seminar.The statue was built in 1969 to celebrate women's right to be admitted into Yale University.The egg shape of the statue represents a woman's ovary.The flowing water indicates feminine nature. On the surface of the statue, there are numbers of students and the corresponding years indicating respectively how many students were enrolled into Yale and when they were enrolled.

    Very appropriate!
