What with all these figurative statues being pulled down across the country it got me thinking about OSU. To my recollection there are hardly any statues of people of any sort on the OSU campus. The only ones I can think of are:
Statue of first woman graduate (can't recall her name) near Ag Hall.
Statue of seated man reading a book by the Valley Library
The Track athlete lacing his shoe in front of Langton Hall.
Brand new statue of Dick Fosbury in flight in front of the Dixon Rec center.
There may be some bronze busts of individuals elsewhere inside of buildings but they weren't memorable to me.
I know this thread is likely to go off the rails into politics but I was more struck by how few figurative statues I could even recall existing at OSU. If there are others, they never left an impression on me one way or the other.

By the body language, I would say its a short stop making a throw to first after recording an out at second. Oh yeah, there is also Benny inside the south entrance to the MU Commons. |

That statue is unnamed, but the sculptor used photos of Mickey Riley as his template. There is a Joy Selig statue outside of the gymnastics practice facility. |

I didn’t include the wooden statue of Benny since it’s not based on a human model. And as much as I love our mascot I’ve always looked at that thing as kind of a monstrosity. No offense intended  |

F Valery Brumel  Fosbury's style was not just biomechanically more efficient. But it was also just cooler  |

that’s exactly what I typed and then deleted because I thought it was making light of a serious topic. |
