dbo:abstract
  • La estatua de Guillermo el silencioso es un monumento de la Universidad de Rutgers en la ciudad de Nuevo Brunswick, en el estado de Nueva Jersey (Estados Unidos). Fue construida en 1928 y está instalada en la sección del campus de College Avenue, a lo largo de Seminary Place, una calle en el extremo occidental del Voorhees Mall. Se encuentra cerca de varios edificios académicos, incluida la de la universidad, Van Dyke Hall y Milledoler Hall. La estatua representa a Guillermo de Orange, uno de los primeros líderes de la revuelta holandesa contra la España de los Habsburgo que condujo a la independencia de los Países Bajos en 1648. Fue donada por Fenton B. Turck para conmemorar la herencia holandesa de la universidad. Turck, con la ayuda de la ejecutiva ferroviaria y ex alumna de Rutgers, , organizó la donación anónima a través de la Sociedad Holandesa de Nueva York. La estatua ha seguido siendo parte de la vida estudiantil, ya que el centro comercial Voorhees Mall había sido el lugar de eventos estudiantiles y comunitarios, incluidas ceremonias de graduación, reuniones de motivación, festivales y protestas. Ocasionalmente ha sido blanco de vandalismo en la histórica rivalidad entre estudiantes de Rutgers y la Universidad de Princeton. Fue restaurada en 2006 en un esfuerzo financiado por donaciones de ex alumnos. (es)
  • A bronze statue of William the Silent (also known as Willie the Silent and Still Bill) was installed in 1928 on the Voorhees Mall section of Rutgers University's College Avenue Campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It is along Seminary Place, a street at the western end of the Voorhees Mall, and near several academic buildings, including the university's Graduate School of Education, Van Dyke Hall, and Milledoler Hall. The statue is of William I, Prince of Orange (1533–1584), an early leader of the Dutch revolt against Habsburg Spain which led to the Netherlands' independence in 1648. It was donated by Dr. Fenton B. Turck to commemorate the university's Dutch heritage. Turck, with the assistance of railroad executive and Rutgers alumnus Leonor F. Loree, arranged the anonymous donation through the Holland Society of New York. The statue has continued to be part of student life as the Voorhees Mall had been the site of student and community events, including graduation ceremonies, pep rallies, festivals, and protests. It has occasionally been a target of vandalism in the historical rivalry between students of Rutgers and Princeton University. It was restored in 2006 in an effort funded by alumni donations. (en)
