Lincoln Statue
The 8-foot statue of Abraham Lincoln at the main entrance to campus has greeted visitors since 1992. Dr. Henry Spencer, LMU Class of 1947 and LMU Trustee, commissioned the statue and sought the services of sculptor Jack Witt of Ashland, Virginia. Witt visited campus and the Abraham Lincoln Library and Musuem for inspiration. The statue represents Lincoln as he was in 1860 just before his inauguration as the nation's 16th president.
