Since 1964, O Cruceiro has been loitering at Portland University's Mehling Hall. It's not a tree, this colossal, 54-foot fiend is far from forestry. A group of four - Lee Kelly, Bonnie Bronson, John Jelly, and John Murtaugh - were asked to symbolize life. Instead, they bestowed life upon a shimmering, monstrous figurine. Dedicated on November 22, 1964, it now boasts membership in the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture! program.
