The "Finger Fountain"
USC students have impishly dubbed this cubist landmark the “Finger Fountain” because it evokes a well-known, if disparaging, hand gesture. Campus lore holds that it is directed toward a certain rival institution in Westwood, but the massive concrete sculpture, located at the north end of Trousdale Parkway in the University Park campus’s Gavin Herbert Plaza, actually points north.
