John Carroll Statue (1912) A two block walk from East Campus returns us to the front of the campus and to the statue of its founder, John Carroll. Dedicated by United States Chief Justice Edward White in 1912, the statue honors Carroll and his vision for Georgetown. This marks the end of this online tour. We hope you will visit the Hilltop soon, and hope that this tour provided a brief glimpse of this storied campus, the alma mater of American Catholic and Jesuit higher education.
