In 2013, the Student Government Association worked with the Physical Plant to design the TCU Student Memorial. The memorial serves as a place of remembrance to honor Horned Frogs lost during their enrollment at TCU. Similar to the four lotus petals of Frog Fountain that represent the passing of knowledge from class to class, the single lotus symbolizes the importance of every individual in our community. The lack of water running through the lotus symbolizes the quiet and stillness of campus as we realize the loss of the physical presence we experience when a member of our community has died. Finally, the copper serves as a reflective element in this space. It reflects the light our students have brought to our community and their legacy left in others through their time at TCU.
