Trinity University (San Antonio, Tex.)
Description
The Eugenia B. Miller Fountain was named in honor of the wife of Cecil W. Miller, Trinity trustee and former chairman of the Board (1957-1960) who presented the fountain as a gift to the university in 1966. Fountains were a special interest of Mr. and Mrs. Miller. Both had studied and photographed the magnificent fountains of old Europe during their extensive travels abroad. Located initially in a green circle of live oaks and grass near the main entrance to the Trinity campus adjacent to Stadium Drive, the fountain was moved to its present location in 2004. In the fountain's design, Trinity architects O'Neil Ford and Bartlett Cocke incorporated three major elements: an expansive bowl at ground level; a large graceful urn in the center of the bowl; and a crown sitting in the center top of the urn.
