Sentinels of the Sixties
These abstract, ten-ton concrete sculptures were created in the 1960s by Cornell undergraduate architecture students. Under the guidance of professor Jack Squier, these students learned first-hand about sculpture, design, engineering, and carpentry. Industrial Design magazine has praised the Sculpture Garden as one of the most exciting and successful projects for training architects in the country.
Arboretum Highlight
The sculptures were erected before the arboretum existed, and the location was very secluded and isolated from main campus. The sculptures quickly became a highlight of the arboretum after the arboretum was created.
