The Water Boy, (above) originally called The Vine Grower, in the Great Court of the Main Building, was first exhibited at the Centennial Exposition, Philadelphia, in 1876.

While the soft patina of age covers the statue, the right toe has been burnished to a shining bronze through constant rubbing by generations of Drexel students who, by tradition, believe that good grades will follow the ritual.
