Description
Scripps College Professor of Philosophy Philip Merlan and his wife Franciszka Merlan stand at east side of Seal Fountain in Seal Court of Malott Commons. Water shoots out of the seal's mouth. Seal Court features mosaic murals around the pond created by various students since the 1940s. The seals were originally designed by Lawrence Tenney Stevens, modeled in clay by Jean McBurney, and fired by William Manker, Scripps ceramics professor (1935-47). In 1990, Paul Soldner, Scripps ceramics professor (1957-91), recast the seals in bronze.
