The Sword in the Stone is a 10' tall monument located in the [[Galbraith Garden]] constructed from aluminum with a large concrete base. It was constructed by members of the [[Brute Force Committee]] and partially funded by the [[Engineering Society]]. The Sword is a symbol that represents Skule™ spirit, and has figured as a prominent part of the BFC logo since the early 1990s. | The Sword in the Stone is a 10' tall monument located in the [[Galbraith Garden]] constructed from aluminum with a large concrete base.

The Sword in the Stone has gone through multiple iterations. It was first placed in the front of the [[Sandford Fleming Building]] as a prank in the early 1990s, but was removed by the University of Toronto before it was widely noticed. It was replaced again in the late 1990s, and stood at the front of the building until it was again removed for renovations to the exterior. | The Sword in the Stone has gone through multiple iterations.

A second, larger, sword was commissioned following the dismantling of the first Sword in the Stone, and was proposed to replace the original sword at the front of SF. However, negotiations with the [[Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering]] failed to produce a meaningful resolution. Finally, in 2008, the new Sword was erected in the Galbraith Garden with Faculty approval. | A second, larger, sword was commissioned following the dismantling of the first Sword in the Stone, and was proposed to replace the original sword at the front of SF.
