The Sculpture Sits in Saunders Court
Copp advised us that the sculpture was created by Michael Dennis, who was a neuroscientist at UCSF and also an artist. If you didn't win this time, try again on Monday for another chance at winning your very own Daybreak mug. In the meantime, here's some history: John D. de C.M. Saunders, the man for whom Saunders Court was named, became the first provost of the campus in 1958 and in 1964 the first chancellor. During his tenure, Saunders was seen as a powerful moving force in establishing the campus as a b health sciences center. He was known by many as a true Renaissance man -- one who could achieve distinction in pure science while retaining the breadth of humanistic scholarship. Saunders understood and supported the behavioral and social sciences on campus and was responsible for developing programs that cut across disciplines in four professional schools and departments. Born in South Africa, Saunders came to UCSF from the University of Edinburgh in 1931 as assistant professor of anatomy, then became professor and chairman, 1938 to 1956, and dean of the School of Medicine, 1955 to 1963.
