Statue of Tommy Trojan at USC, July 2008

01 Jul 2008 534
Tommy Trojan, officially known as the Trojan Shrine, is one of the most recognizable figures of school pride at the University of Southern California. The life-size bronze statue of a Trojan warrior sits in the center of campus and serves as a popular meeting spot, as well as a centerpiece for a number of campus events. It is the most popular unofficial mascot of the university. The Trojan Shrine was sculpted by Roger Noble Burnham and based on a variety of USC football players, including Russell Saunders, Ernie Pinckert, Henry Becker, Larry Stevens and John Ward. The statue was unveiled during the University's 50th Jubilee in 1930. It cost $10,000 to build, after which a $1 surcharge was added onto the season football tickets in order to help offset this cost. The original name suggested for the statue was The Spirit of Troy, but that name went to the school's marching band. Tommy Trojan is located at the core of the campus and often serves as a meeting ground for students and visitors. Many people take pictures with the statue. Tommy Trojan is surrounded by the Bovard Administration Building, Ronald Tutor Campus Center, and Alumni Park. Trousdale Parkway passes next to the statue. USC offers the Tommy Cam, which is a live image of the statue, with daily time-lapse videos. The statue is unique in that the figure is flexing every muscle in his body, a physically impossible feat. Inscribed on the base of the statue are the five attributes of the ideal Trojan: Faithful, Scholarly, Skillful, Courageous and Ambitious. On the reverse is a plaque bearing a quote by Virgil: "Here are provided seats of meditative joy, where shall rise again the destined reign of Troy." Text from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Trojan

Youth Triumphant Sculpture and Fountain at USC, Ju…

Frederick William Schweigardt (d. 1948), (1933?), Alumni Park. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carman-Ryles in memory of their son, Edward L. Prentiss. Formally presented to the University at a dedication ceremony in November 1935. The original was displayed in San Diego in 1935 during the California Pacific International Exposition. It was known there as the Fountain of the Four Cornerstones of American Democracy; it is now called Youth Triumphant, after the figure at the top. The fountain is reported to have received an award at the Exposition. The kneeling figures symbolize Community, Home, School, and Church. The figures were called "modest maidens" on whose shoulders the world rests. The fountain was damaged by falling trees in a wind storm in 1976, and recast and reinstated in 1979. The restoration project had financial assistance from the Trojan League of Los Angeles, and was headed by sculptor Brian Coleman. Text from: www.publicartinla.com/USCArt/Cornerstones.html
