Savoring every second with the most inconspicuous sculpture on the Main Green, prospective student Darren Whitely can’t help but share his immense interest in the Rock Tree with the rest of his tour group.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Whitely, who has seen plenty of rocks, trees, and rocks near trees before laying eyes on the public art piece. “Only Brown, an institution that prides itself on innovation, could display such a groundbreaking work of art. The combination of rock and tree is truly revolutionary, and it makes me think about all of the revolutionary plans I hope to one day put into action at this esteemed university.”
Ensuring that the tour guide recognizes his thoughtful nature and genuine appreciation for the arts, Whitely then interrupted a person asking about extracurriculars to wax poetic about a rock in a tree.
“Usually, rocks are next to trees or underneath them. However, here, the rock is in the tree,” said Whitely, scoring some face time with the twenty-year-old tour guide who has absolutely no power in the admissions process. “The sculpture exudes a form of ingenuity that could only be rivaled by Brown itself, and I pray that one day I’ll be able to revel in Rock Tree’s glory again, ideally for four years.”
At press time, Whitely could hardly contain his excitement when the tour guide revealed that the largest remaining Hutchings-Votey organ is in Sayles Hall.
