Built in 1932, the old fountain honored the memory of Martin Wright, chairman of the Campus Beautification Committee and social science professor. A campus icon, the fountain served as a popular gathering point and focus of campus life for over eighty years until it was replaced. The current structure, the Trustees Fountain, was dedicated on Founder’s Day 2009 and replaced Wright Fountain as the centerpiece of Wright Circle. A plaque near the fountain displays the name of current and former members of the Board of Trustees.
