Above the main entry of the former Watkins Memorial Hospital, which opened in 1932, is a large limestone relief depicting St. George slaying the Dragon, representing disease.
It was designed by Professor Marjorie Whitney, a 1929 alumna and chair of KU’s design department (1940-68). The building is now Twente Hall. Other Whitney ornamentations on Twente include a sculpted door and bas-reliefs of animals, garlands, and flowers on the tower.
