The bronze statue of Fr. Pedro Arrupe, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, was dedicated before alumni and friends.  The sculptor was Brian Hanlon, who also created the Bob Cousy sculpture in front of the Hart Center.

A quote from a now famous speech Fr. Arrupe delivered to alumni of Jesuit schools in Europe in 1973 appears on the plaque.

The statue was made possible by a generous gift from longtime Holy Cross supporter Stephen A. Lovelette ’78.
