SFA erects statue Governor White does dedication The dedication of the Stephen Fuller Austin statue was held in front of Steen Library prior to Home- coming festivities. Governor Mark White, presented a speech in honor of the University. After Gov. White ' s speech, the statue foun- tain and lights were turned on officially. The Stephen Fuller Austin statue, built in the honor of the University ' s namesake, stands 11 feet 2 inches tall and weights 4000 pounds. The statue was built by Richard MacDonald, a renowned sculptor from California. Mr. MacDonald entered a competition to build the statue along with 180 other applicants for the grand prize of $100,000. The competition was headed by SFA General Counsel Robert Provan. The statue, which presides in front of the Steen Library, depicts Stephen Fuller Austin, a Texas statesman, standing atop the Lone Star of Texas emerging from a rock as wa- ter flows down the sides. This statue illustrates Austin ' s efforts to change a rough civilization into a successful and bright future. The statue, which has a bronze coating, should last about 5000 years, according to Mr. MacDonald. The statue was forged in about 40 to 50 pieces and later assembled, with the final polishing being completed after the statue arrived on the SFA campus.
