Spanish American Soldier Statue
By Afnan Alsharif
The University of Idaho campus is a historically rich place of statue, landmarks, and traditions. The Spanish War memorial statue is one of these historical statues on campus.
In 1907, the Spanish American soldier statue was built to remember the Spanish American War, a military conflict between Spain and the United States from April to August of 1898.
However, many people can't see the statue due to many trees a rounding it. When asking students and a facially member at University of Idaho about this statue if they know, and what they think about it, they were shocking and thinking to remember if there is statue by this name and where it is.
Many UI students didn't know about the Spanish American soldier statue and its history, or why and when the statue was built. But according to Rachel, an art student, the University should teach students about the historical events or landmarks to learn about American history. She also mentioned that some American people didn't have background about their history she doesn't know how the people live without know their history.
Some people think that there are many places around Idaho campus to transfer the statue in a spotlight area, and most of them agree the statue should be front of the library. One student, who didn't want to give his name, asked, "But who will listen to what we say?"
In the end, most students reclaim from the University of Idaho would like the statue moved because it is part of their history.
