Nice piece of turn of the 20th Century kitsch. Read the Wikipedia entry for both the official story of the sculpture and to find out why college students think it's funny! Not worth a special trip, but if you are in Worcester, don't miss it.

I can't stand looking at that statue. I can't quite figure out the statement the artist was trying to make when designing it.

An interesting sculpture with some interesting details and history. I prefer The boy with a Dolphin statue or sculpture at Chestnut Place Plaza but, like a lot of interesting things in Worcester they're miles apart and the residents have no idea of what it is or how to get to it.

This fountain is iconic to local college students as they use it as a meeting place with somewhat negative and suggestive meanings.

The fountain adds a nice touch of class to the plaza park behind Worcester's City Hall. It complements the city hall architecture.
