The dignified man sitting on the bench outside University A. Mickiewicz in Poznań, Poland, is Professor Heliodor Święcicki (1854 – 1923): gynecologist, social worker, philanthropist, founder and first rector of the university.

Interesting that the sculpture is actually part of the bench. And a very fine one at that. You are very quick out of the starting blocks this month Meg 🙂

A fine looking chap. I like these sitting around sort of statues. Makes one feel one could have a chat, although probably not about gynaecology.

I have been known to be short-sightedly irritated with such a statue for occupying MY bench. But then I’ve also had a conversation with an answering machine.
