Mrs. Leicester (Mary) Faust and Dr. Claudius Pritchard, President of Maryville College, view the bronze statue, "Setting Sun" in the newly-completed Instructional Resources Center/Library in April 1988. They stand on the double-helix stairway to the second floor. At the official opening of the library, the stairway was named the Faust Grand Staircase in honor of Leicester B. Faust.Mrs. Faust donated two bronze statues, "Rising Sun" and "Setting Sun," to Maryville College in 1985. A new library was in the planning stages at that time. Ted Woffort, the architect for the new library, made plans to integrate the statues into the design of the library immediately after the donation was given.
