Why Is There a Naked Girl on a Lion At the Entrance to Low Rotunda?
In "Why Is There a Naked Girl on a Lion At the Entrance to Low Rotunda?" Robert Pollack examines the symbolism behind the unusual zodiacal imagery found in Columbia University’s Low Library. Pollack delves into the architectural and historical significance of the artwork, linking it to broader themes of education, tradition, and the human desire to impose order on the natural world. He reflects on the implications of this symbolic blending of classical and modern elements, considering how it shapes the intellectual environment at Columbia.
