Other statues created in memorial to some of the University’s early and prominent contributors include those of Daniel Coit Gilman, Hopkins’ first president, and William A. Welch, the first dean of the School of Medicine. These structures, located outside of Shriver, recently received some big time publicity when scenes from the Chris Rock flick Head of State were filmed on the hall’s front steps. A bust of Isaiah Bowman, president of the University during the Depression, is also located in a niche under the porch of Shriver.
