As a prestigious business and entrepreneurship school, Babson College in Wellesley adores its muckety-mucks. Earlier this year the school revealed new portraits of its presidents and named a new park hosting its famous globe for immediate past-President Kerry Murphy Healey.
Now the school has introduced a life-size, nearly 900-pound bronze sculpture of larger-than-life college founder Roger Babson at that same park. The pose commemorates Babson’s globe dedication in 1955.
The Babson sculpture, created by artist David Frech, makes for a nice addition to Wellesley’s overall outdoor art gallery, which includes quite a few on the Babson Campus.
