Why is this man's nose so shiny?

One of Carnegie-Mellon U. traditions is to rub Hamerschlag's nose before an
exam for good luck. Campus legend has it that the first student to do so prior to
a difficult test aced the test, and ever since, the nose on this 1928 bas relief
has remained well-polished.

This is my entry for this week's Totally Informal Thursday Challenge, themed "B&W Portrait".
