A signature landmark on Dean’s Patio is a large, bronze statue of horses known as “Spirit” in which is exclusive to the W.P. Carey School of Business. Given to the business school back in 2009, couple Morton and Donna Fleischer approached the business school to see if they would like to have it for display. With having the meaning symbolizing the spirit of entrepreneurship and enterprise, “Sprit” was a perfect addition to the business school. Before calling Arizona State home, the $1.3 million dollar “Spirit” was on exhibit here in Scottsdale at the Fleischer Museum. The statue was first completed in 1989 by sculptor Buck McCain from Southern Arizona. “‘Spirit’ was created to represent those ideas which give Americans unlimited possibilities for economic success,” McCain said. “What better place to display such success than at the W. P. Carey School of Business, which is producing tomorrow’s entrepreneurs?” (Damien Maloney/The State Press, 2009)
