known works, "Ti
"Rising Woman."
"The Hewer" was presented to
the University on June 15, 1904,
by Joseph M. Huston, architect
for the Capitol building in Harris
burg. "Rising Woman" was pre
sented sometime in the early
1920'5.
It is reported glarnard's fam
ily would be willing to give
some of his statues and other
materials, such as drawings and
papers, to some place in Cert.
ire County, perhaps the Uni
versity.
"The Hewer" stood in the cen
ter of the lobby in front of the
main door. `,'Rising Woman" stood
in the north corner next to the
telephone booth.
When asked why the statues
were removed, Dr. Albert Christ-
Jaiier, director of the School of
the Arts, said he didn't know.
Leon D. Skinner, assistant to
the dean of the College of the
Liberal Arts, said the statues were
removed because people who at
tended-Chapel services didn't like
to look at them.
Skinner recalled that when he
was an undergraduate at the
University students would
sometimes paint parts of the
statues a brilliant red.
Other people, however, seem to
differ as to whether the statues
shauld have been removed.
Dr. William L. Werner, profes-I
sor of American liteurature, in hisi
column "The Book Worm" in the ,
January 22, 1957, issue of the;
Centre Daily Times asked where'

The two statues are the only
examples In Centre County of
. Barnard's work. However, his
work is widely displayed
throughout the rest of the coun
try.
The original of "The Hewer" is
in the Brooklyn Art Institute and
the original of the "Rising Wom
an" is in the Rockefeller mansion
on the Hudson.
Two of his works, "Two Na
tures" and ,"Maidenhood," are in
the Metropolitan Museum in New
York. Another, a huge cinerary
urn which has 27 figures repre
senting the cycle of life on it, is
in Carnegie Institute in Pitts

Barnard was commissioned in
1905 to do all the sculpture work
for the Capitol building in Harris
burg.
Rockefeller built .the famous
Cloisters in New York to hold
