Sculpture at NTU: marble bird-frog?

OK, you guess what this thing is:

I climbed the hill and tried to read the little sign at its base, but it was a very weathered, chipped slab of marble, illegible except for a few initials in the upper left corner that read ….TU.  It’s in a prominent spot where all the buses and taxis pass it, but what does it mean?  The lower right looks like a bird’s tail, but the other two thirds look kind of like a frog – or maybe that’s just because of the greenish color the marble has taken on from moss.

Can someone tell me how this is supposed to inspire students to study? Or alumni to donate funds?  It screams failure and neglect to me.
