The Littlefield Fountain, unveiled in 1933, is a monument by Italian-born sculptor Pompeo Coppini, located at The University of Texas at Austin. UT and Coppini came to loggerheads over design disputes with UT architect, Paul Cret and others. Between UT’s loss of Coppini’s 24 piece statuary and the fountain that was redesigned without Coppini’s approval, a rift was in full bloom for the next 20 years.
Major George W. Littlefield financed the memorial for University of Texas students and alumni who died in World War I.
