Endless Love is a song by Lionel Ritchie, but it also is the name of a new sculpture on the fourth floor of the College by Dr. Sheldon Bulwa, '55. Most importantly, it also is the way Dr. Bulwa feels about the College.
"Placing that sculpture in my dental school was a dream come true, and I feel just wonderful about it," Dr. Bulwa said. "It was one of the highlights of my life."
"It ended up where it should have. There were three other institutions that were interested in it, but as soon as the College showed some interest in it, it was going to be placed there," Dr. Bulwa said.
Several College personnel have commented that the sculpture, appropriately, looks much like a tooth. All are welcome to a ceremony officially dedicating the sculpture on the fourth floor of the College near the lounge and vending area at 11 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 29.
