More than 30 statues and sculptures stand on campus but their stories and artists behind these works of art have remained a mystery to students.

The original purpose of the Saltine Warrior statue was to mark a phony gravesite of an Onondagan chief rumored to be buried on campus. 

Syracuse University tradition has it that if a student rubs the dog's paw on the Diana statue in Bird Library they will ace an upcoming test.
