At Middlebury College, a masterpiece resides, created by the skilled hands of Patrick Villiers Farrow. A dog, airborne, cradles a frisbee. The intricate details were handled by Brewster. The dynamic bronze pose radiates a joyful, unrestrained spirit. The artwork, added in 1989, towers at 17 feet 4 inches, stretches 9 feet 4 inches wide, and dives 10 feet 6 inches deep. Engraved at its base, 'Frisbee: A Gift to Middlebury College from Gary Merrill' reveals its origin. 'Patrick Villiers Farrow' is etched on the edge. 'Matthew, Cameron' is carved on a paw, a tribute to human-animal friendship. Some whispers claim Middlebury students, Delta Upsilon fraternity members in 1939, started the frisbee craze by carelessly tossing Frisbie Pie Company plates on their Nebraska trek.
