"There was this English teacher in Michigan trying to put a statue or bust of Tesla in every reputable physics department in the country. I got a call from him when I was chair. We decided to let him come down and we had a little event [to celebrate].
It’s a longer story online (Ed. Note: ntesla.org/ntesla/NT-P1.html) and he continues to put them all over the place. There are busts at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Caltech, Michigan, Wisconsin, Maryland, Illinois, Purdue, Penn, Georgia Tech, you could go down the list—there are 19 of them now."
