Officially titled "Paul 2006," this weary, sag-shouldered, 25-foot-tall Bunyan was created by an artist who later built a giant eyeball in St. Louis.

Exhausted Paul Bunyan
Construction part of the way in. Saddest Paul Bunyan I've ever seen. Being from Wisconsin, he has always been a hero. He looks defeated.

You may not see it right away, but continue to follow the drive around campus...and you can't miss him! Great stop....there are a lot of other beautiful large sculptures on campus as well!
