Description
The bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson on Francis Quadrangle was sculpted by Colorado-based artist George Lundeen. The University of Missouri (MU) has been indelibly linked to Thomas Jefferson since its founding more than 150 years ago. In fact, Jefferson is believed to have originated the very idea of a state-supported university. When MU was established in 1839, it was modeled on Jefferson’s philosophy and architectural design for the University of Virginia. The University of Missouri was the first public university founded in the Louisiana Purchase, one of Jefferson’s legacies from his time as president.
