         Between University Club and Old Main:

         
         Since the earliest days of ASU, there has been a fountain at this site north of Old Main. In 1934, Emry Kopta (1884-1953) completed the central pedestal of powdered stone as part of the government-sponsored Public Works of Art Project. The Austrian-born sculptor lived on a Hopi mesa from 1912 to 1923 and chose images from their culture as the fountain's theme.
