* This piece was moved to the Drexel campus from Lansdowne and Belmont in 1966, according to the APA page, and consistent with the 1959 phillyhistory.org picture. On the campus it was originally just East of 33rd, moved Summer, 2001 to 32nd Street. In 2011 the building it was next to was torn down and the statue was moved closer to Market, rotated, and enclosed in a large box. The box was removed some time in 2013. The last two pictures are from the first and second campus locations. The rest are current.
