"To the immediate right of the entrance sits the feminine figure ‘Europe,’ crowned on a majestic throne. Her left arm lies on a large book that is on top of a globe representing earth. The back of her throne represents the front of a ship and atop sits a Roman Imperial eagle and a bishops’ crozier, typifying the pagan power of Rome and the subsequent domination of Christianity. On the side of the throne are reliefs of academic quotations, located on the right from the frieze of the Parthenon and on the left from a second century bas-relief of a running youth. Behind the main female sits an old, scholarly woman reading a book."
