\nCecil Rhodes
\nby Henry Pegram<\/i>
\n1911<\/p>\n

On the side facing the High Street, there is a statue of Rhodes over the main entrance, with Edward VII and George V beneath.<\/p>\n

The statue formed part of a group of seven statues commissioned for the building from the sculptor Henry Pegram.<\/p>\n

The inscription reads: “e Larga MVnIfICentIa CaeCILII rhoDes”, (Out of the bountiful munificence of Cecil Rhodes). The enlarged letters form a chronogram for the year 1911 when the building was completed.<\/p>\n

Controversy<\/p>\n

The statue has been the subject of protests for several years in the wake of the Rhodes Must Fall movement in 2015.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of protestors again demanded its removal in June 2020, in the wake of the removal of the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol a few days previously. The Bristol and Oxford statues were targeted during the protests that arose following the murder of George Floyd in the United States. <\/p>\n

On 20 May 2021, however, the college decided not to remove the statue despite the majority of members of a commission to decide its future recommending removal; Oriel College cited costs and ‘complex’ planning procedures.<\/p>\n
