- This view documents the inscription on the bottom portion of the black "b" form, which is either not attached to anyone specifically or its owner's name is not visible in this view. It reads, "It is not enough that you should understand about applied science in order that your work may increase man's blessings. Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors, concern for the great unsolved problems of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods, in order that the creation of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.", L. Kirkland 1988; Oregon St. Univ.; Engineering College; Maxwell's EQ, The symbols scattered around the atrium form a kind of puzzle which reflects the scientist's focus on the ingredients of a solution, rather than the final solution. Hanging aluminum rods represent a sound wave, as on an oscilloscope. A steel X sculpture outdoors represents a vector field. The stone pieces indoors represent the symbols E, D, B, H, Delta, a point and an equal sign. Some of the sandblasted quotes are whimsical, as in Samuel Butler's "A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg." Kirkland's favorite is from a T. S. Eliot poem: "Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?" Kirkland said he is pleased with his effort in stone and the way it relates to the people who will see it. "I think that a public commission needs to be responsive to the people, to a specific audience."
