    1. I don’t know for sure.
      One of my classmates said many of the students refer to it as Joan of Arc, but they aren’t completely certain as the statue’s pedestal is engraved with the dates of the First and Second World Wars.
      In that context, perhaps it is of the “Unknown Soldier”?

      1. Ah ok. Speaking of statues at universities, I heard of this very cruel orientation ritual at Harvard involving a statue…rather disgusting…I hope the Rhodesians (if that’s their nickname) don’t do the same…
