The Aviator, Miller Hall, and Memorial Gymnasium
| This photograph was taken after the construction of Memorial Gymnasium, but before the that of Alderman Library in 1938; the view shows the statue's original relationship to Miller Hall. Note that much of vegetation surrounding the statue has been removed. The Aviator, ca. 1943 | This photograph taken in the mid-1940s (after the construction of Alderman Library) shows elimination of the statue's leafy setting; the statue now serves as the terminus for the walkway in front of the library.

Two Views, January,
