- According to university legend stroking the statue before exams brings good luck!
- Also located at this point is the Aperture sculpture, which is the large art piece on the hill outside of the LINC building.
- The Aperture sculpture was unveiled at opening of campus in September of 1972.
- Aperture is a 20 foot high concrete sculpture, designed by Arthur Erickson’s architectural firm.
- It was originally the geographic centre of the campus until further expansions occurred. The idea behind it was that students would always know where they were on campus relative to the sculpture.
- In 1985 the University of Lethbridge Alumni Association placed a time capsule into the base of Aperture. Within this capsule (amongst other things) was an endowment which is to be worth an estimated $2 million in 2067, which will be the 100th anniversary of the University.
