Social distancing, cardinal virtue-style: keep one archway between you. The statues, at the entrance of the Ruane Center for the Humanities, represent prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude. They were installed in 2017 thanks to a gift from Christopher J. Walker ’86 and Susan Tower Walker ’86.
