Virgil Cantini's 1966 steel with bronze and glass sculpture Ode to Space sits outside the entrance to David Lawrence Hall. The sculpture contains the inscription, labore as astra or "to work toward the stars." The sculpture, weighing one ton and standing 15 feet high, was anonymously to the university as a memorial to Chancellor Edward Litchfield, whom died in a 1965 plane crash.
