Chapman University Collection of Historical Figures
All across the Chapman campus, busts of historic figures showcase our nation’s history
and notable individuals from around the world. Chapman has an unwavering commitment
to foster a rigorous intellectual community for our students and to provide an environment
in which they can go beyond just learning facts to develop their own views and grow
their own value system. This is best done by being confronted with discordant ideologies,
and by studying the imperfect history that provides a foundation for creative influence
on this world, this country and this university.
To truly offer an exemplary educational experience, a university is bound to expose
students to ideas, images, art and history they may dislike or even find objectionable,
while at the same time providing a safe place to debate and engage in civil discourse
so we can learn together and grow in each other’s viewpoints.
Follow the links on this website to learn more about the iconic figures behind the
busts. Commentary by Chapman faculty experts provides critical context for intellectually
robust discussions of the complex roles these individuals played in the broad sweep
of history.
