The Van Wickle Gates, on the Brown University campus, were dedicated in 1901. The gates were built of iron with brick and stone piers. The Brown University seal is over the center gate. The center gates remain closed except for two special occasions. They are opened inward to admit students at the beginning of the college year and outward on the Commencement Day to allow the procession to pass through, at which time the graduates traditionally doff their caps.
