A recent gift to the English Department by former Richard Kimball has been met with mixed reactions by those who happen upon it as they emerge from Wilson Hall. The 11 foot sculpture was placed on end several times over the summer resulting in damage which necessitated the re-welding of one of its sections, a restoration which some observers feel has changed the original shape of the work. Fredrick Hartt, Chairman of the Art Department, officially accepted the gift after the University Objects of Art Committee approved the sculpture. Because the "Giant" is not set in a permanent foundation the work does not require the approval of the State Art Commission.
