The creator of this picture postcard of Montezuma, Eric H. Gibian, describes the subject of the drawing as follows: Donal Hord's prize-winning diorite statue of Chieftain of the Aztec tribe. Sculptured 1937, holds court in northeast corner of Main Quad." Donal Hord (1902-1966) sculpted the Aztec for San Diego State College. It was originally located on the Main Quad (quadrangle behind Hepner Hall), and in 1984 moved to the south entrance of the college. Due to trolley construction, it was relocated in the Prospective Student Center.
