Bronze statuary within a single circular stone structure. The Centurium was a gift to SUU to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the University. Includes 13 sculptures: Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Marie Curie, William Shakespeare, Leonardo Da Vinci, Germain de Stael, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton and an additional scuplture with knights, a crest, and the motto: Learning lives forever. Eugene Woolf's book, "The Odyssey of the Mind," centers on the men and women honored by the Centuriam.
