The sixteenth president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, is especially important to Chapman. The school started on March 4, 1861, at the very same *hour* that Lincoln's first term began. As Lincoln believed in equality in education, so too did the founders of the school, then called Hesperian College. At that time, the notion of admitting all students, regardless of race or gender, was almost unheard of in higher education.

This statue is approximately life-size, and is crafted from cast metal. It occupies a central spot in the university's large collection of outdoor art.
