These pieces were originally installed on the east side of the Literature, Science and the Arts building on Central Campus, flanking the front doors. Fredericks was also the sculptor of the 37 other bas reliefs on the facades of the LS&A building. All the pieces were meant to be associated with “youth and education and possess a universitality and humor that is timeless. They are a monument to the students and their abilities of conceiving and accomplishing great things.” Fredericks, who worked as an assistant to Carl Milles at Cranbrook and taught there ten years, is also the sculptor of the American Eagle, at Michigan Stadium, and the bas reliefs on the Rackham Educational Memorial in Detroit, as well as bronze busts of several prominent faculty members. In 2004, when the LS&A building was completely renovated, the Dream plaques were removed and installed at the Bentley Library.
