Thanks to a generous Baylor graduate, Fountain Mall finally has its fountain back<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Rosenbalm Fountain (pictured above) was dedicated at Homecoming last month. Despite the heavy rains of late, skies above Waco cleared just long enough for\u00a0Dr. Thomas Rosenbalm, BS \u201950, MS \u201951, to get to see his fountain in action before the dedication ceremony moved indoors to the McMullen Faculty Center. Dr. Rosenbalm’s $8 million gift to Baylor led the way\u00a0in creating the fountain\u00a0(named in honor of his parents) and a\u00a0new-look\u00a0Fifth Street.<\/p>\n [SEE PHOTOS of the Rosenbalm Fountain on Fifth Street<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n The Rosenbalm Fountain is the most prominent part\u00a0of a\u00a0Fifth Street renovation that turned the long-closed-off street into a walkable plaza from the SUB down to Burleson Quadrangle. (The plaza is designed for pedestrians, though it can still be\u00a0driven on by emergency vehicles and Homecoming parade floats.)<\/p>\n Next time you visit campus, make sure to check it all out. FYI, the fountain\u00a0bubbles quietly during most of the day, but lights up green from 5-10 p.m.; it also\u00a0shoots roughly 30 feet into the air (like in the picture above) on odd-numbered hours.<\/p>\n Sic \u2019em, Dr. Rosenbalm!<\/p>\n You might also like:<\/em><\/strong> Thanks to a generous Baylor graduate, Fountain Mall finally has its fountain back.
