Comments:
A statue in Palmer Square commemorating the square and the industrialist Edgar Palmer who built the square and it is named after him.

Tiger statues and other symbols in which a tiger appears, appear in many places on the university’s campus, and are one of its hallmarks.
The statue was made from bronze scraps sent by donors, including scraps from the great fire at those university gymnastics (1944) and scraps left over from the casting of Carillon bells located in the Graduate College.

The statue was photographed on the same day by the same photographer Click for a larger image
