A fixture of campus geography, the Sundial is at the center of College Walk at the opposite end of Butler Plaza from the Butler Library. The sundial is a campus landmark and a popular site for readings, speeches, advocacy, and meeting up.
Though only the base remains today, originally a giant granite sphere sat on the base and indicated the date of the year by the shadow it cast on the base. The sphere developed a crack and was removed. It eventually disappeared from storage and recently turned up in Michigan. Efforts to return it to campus have failed.
