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.

As part of the Green Jobs Now grassroots campaign, Holy Cross students pose with the construction team who are working on the Linda and Park B. Smith Laboratories at noon. The movement calls for a “new ‘clean and green’ economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty.” The event was sponsored by Eco-Action and Physical Plant.
