Historical Background: The idea of the Spartan Statue originated in 1932, inspired by the Trojan statue at the University of Southern California. Leonard Jungwirth, a Michigan native who trained both locally and in Germany, created the original Sparty statue. The bronze Spartan statue was unveiled on August 25, 2005, during Welcome Week, in front of hundreds of spectators. Originally planned to be unveiled in October 2005, concerns about condensation causing discoloration led to the early unveiling. The official dedication ceremony still took place on October 8, 2005.

During the original dedication of Sparty, President Hannah remarked, “In the years ahead, this Spartan Warrior in this beautiful and proper setting will become one of the distinguishing marks of this campus that all students and visitors will associate with this college and this campus in much the same way that Beaumont Tower is now generally recognized as the proper symbol of Michigan State College.” These words have proven true as Sparty remains a symbol of MSU’s spirit and pride.

Important Note: Please be aware that this replica is designed for display purposes and is not solid metal. The hollow construction is intentional, providing a lightweight and affordable piece of memorabilia that retains the visual impact of a more substantial figure.
