The Van Wickle Gates form the ornamental entrance to Brown University's main campus in Providence, Rhode Island.[1][2] The gates stand at the intersection of College Street and Prospect Street at the crest of College Hill. Dedicated on June 18, 1901, they stand as a symbol for the campus and its 259-year history.[3]
