Fountain works in larger cities

I was dismayed to read that the defacing of the fountains was still an issue on the Purdue Campus. It was my hope that somebody in the administration would realize that there are more pressing issues to be addressed, but since they haven't, I would like to submit my recommendation.

Attached is a photo of the fountain in downtown Indianapolis. It should be noted that Indy contains a million plus inhabitants that could potentially visit the fountain on any given day, not counting the multitude of visitors to the city. In the picture, it may be noted that the fountain has many pools, vertical and horizontal water jets, people sitting around, and if you look real close, wading in the fountain all without a fence or a lifeguard.

I would like to submit, if a city of a million people can put a fountain in the middle of the city with out fences, guards or modifications, maybe, just maybe Purdue could also.
