Stevens Through the Years

ImageNovember 11 marks the 40th anniversary of American artist Alexander Calder's death at age 78. A skilled metalsmith, Calder '19 studied mechanical engineering at Stevens before turning to art in the 1920s. He redefined sculpture by introducing the element of movement with hanging works called "mobiles." The distinguished alumnus received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater in 1969, which led to the donation of two of his creations: the Stevens Mobile (displayed in the lobby of the Samuel C. Williams Library) and a stabile piece, Hard to Swallow.
