Jim Dolan (born 1948) is an American sculptor specializing in outdoor larger-than-life bronze and steel sculptures, especially of Montana-related subjects and wildlife.
[2] He petitioned the college to be granted in-state tuition, arguing that he intended to live in Montana permanently and be an asset to the state.
[3] His work at MSU includes a statue of Walt Whitman placed near Wilson Hall, the campus's liberal arts building, and near the Museum of the Rockies is "Rusty," a draft horse.
