The bronze statue of
Caesar Augustus
that presides over Wriston Quad has endured a lot of abuse over its 102
years. Pigeons regularly use poor Caesar as a resting spot, and
generations of students have decorated him with paint and other
materials. Caesar lost his right arm to the hurricane of 1938; it was
replaced but then lost again. This fall, an unidentified orthopedically
minded visitor, fashioned Caesar a new limb from what looked like
packing tape. For a brief moment, Caesar hailed the breakfast crowd.
