There are at least 32 IU-affiliated Loves and at least six Valentines university-wide, that is, students or employees with those surnames. Also, in its very unscientific, pre-Feb. 14 assessment, the IU Home Pages could find no Cupids in our midst.

The original lovers, Adam and Eve, stand in Dunn's Woods at IUB, the work of IUB sculptor Jean Paul Darriau.

Named after former IU Trustee Theodore Rose, the Rose Well House in the center of IUB's Old Crescent is built roughly in the shape of a Beta Theta Pi fraternity pin. In earlier times, tradition held that a female student attained "coed" status by being kissed in the well house while the Student Building bells chimed the 12 strokes of midnight.
