The Fountain
A gift from the Class of 1940, the iconic fountain is the centerpiece of today’s Academic Quad. Originally located in front of Carver Hall, it replaced a fountain donated by the Class of 1904, which had fallen into disrepair. It stood as one of three fountains on campus until February 1955, when it was removed to make way for a new entrance and parking spaces. The fountain was preserved and housed inside the main entrance to Carver Hall.
When an unattractive parking lot in the middle of the academic buildings was transformed into the Academic Quad, the fountain was revived and augmented. To complete the fountain, a local artist created a finial — a sculpture of a bird representing a bittern – that pays homage to the original from 1904 and symbolically connects with the Town of Bloomsburg’s fountain at the intersection of Main and Market streets. •
