MAGINE THIS: You’re walking

on the Webb School of Knoxville campus, heading up toward the Upper School building, and just east of the sidewalk on a tree-shaded hillside sits a somewhat larger-than-life-sized bronze statue of Webb School founder, Robert Webb. He’s peacefully seated on a large boulder, blending into the scene around him – a lush garden and teeming behind it the energy of students and staff moving from classrooms to buildings to playing fields – all on an incredible 100-acre campus that is a testament to this one man’s audacity and tenacity.
