Description:

Before Tower Court, facing the Cranbrook School Quadrangle is the Aim High sculpture crafted in 1972 by Peter Kerr, a former art instructor in the school, after an Eero Saarinen design. Saarinen based his archer on a story in Virgil's Aeneid in which Acestes, in a contest, shot his arrow high into the sky and the gods, pleased with his spirit, tipped the arrow with fire so that he won. The Aim High image appears on the school seal. (Source: Eckert, Kathryn Bishop; Cranbrook: An Architectural Tour, Princeton, NJ: Princeton Architectural Press, 2001 (1-56898-257-7))
