From the famous columns, to Thomas Jefferson's original tomb, the University of Missouri's Francis Quadrangle has several noteworthy sites. One of the more popular, is the bust of Francis Quadrangle itself which is said to bring a little extra luck.
Located just right of Jesse Hall, visitors and students at the University of Missouri are encouraged to take advantage of a long held tradition of rubbing the statue of David R. Francis' nose. You can't miss it, it's well worn and shiny from thousands of fingers in need of a little good fortune. It's not the original nose though. The tradition has led to three replacement noses for the statue since it was erected in 1924.
