Fountain Dedication

This fountain was made possible by the generosity of the University Club of the FAU Foundation, Inc.

Founded in 1976, the University Club seeks to advance the academic and research programs of Florida Atlantic University

The bronze sculpture of burrowing owls in their natural habitat was designed by Boca Raton artist, Bill Klug.

Dedicated on Thursday, February 3, 2005 By President and Mrs. Frank T. Brogan

The Eleanor R. Baldwin House Florida Atlantic University

Fountain Poem

Our President's mansion is successfully complete
Both beautiful and practical
An outstanding architectural feat!

Just yesterday the seed was sown And today the Baldwin dream has come true
The University Club is bestowed this honor Of presence on a campus made new.

The bronze fountain decided.
A spectacular sight
For all to view So beautiful and bright.

The wait was long and discouraging too
As a slow boat from Thailand made more than ado.
Never certain to whether we would see it for sure,
Our fountain is home and now safe and secure.

Every student, supporter, and grand honoree
Will remember us fondly as they visit and see
This magnificent sculpture.
A gift of hard work
The University Clubs' gift of generosity.
