Past is Prologue, by Mason Gross professor emeritus Patrick Strzelec, provides an inviting atmosphere on the front terrace of the Zimmerli, making art accessible to visitors and passersby. The artist created it as a monument the Class of 1965, which funded the commission of the sculpture, "to reflect their magic, their trajectory, their innocence, the fervor to do right, that this might live with us— and on this campus—forever.” (9/5/24)
