History
The Fountain
The Wilson quad, at the time of the school's founding in 1926, housed a fountain with running water and live fish living in its base. A group of students founded an art and literary magazine, named La Fuente for the iconic fountain, to showcase Bruins' artwork and writing.
Discontinued
A group of students poisoned the fountain with soap, killing the fish inside. The fountain was removed, and the magazine disbanded. Later, Wilson alumni donated a new, waterless fountain, which stands in the quad today.
Re-founded
We discovered the fountain's history through Wilson's Link Crew program and jumped at the chance to bring new life to a Wilson tradition. We re-founded La Fuente under its same name, this time as an online magazine, and are excited to bring Wilson students' creative work back into the spotlight.
