What are the statues in the Columbia college sculpture garden in Chicago?

A friend and I happened across a small pocket park while exploring the city, and we want to know what the sculptures represent. There are three dogs, (fox?), one reading with a bird on his shoulder, a desk and chair, several balls, and a genie or gargoyle on a post. We think they must be out of some tale, but cannot think of what, does anyone know what they mean and who made them? The only info I have is that it is called the sculpture garden and is part of the school. Maybe student made?

Update:

I did email the school, waiting on reply

    In any case of a small park on a college's grounds, asking the college is the best method

    Curiously, a search on the final words of your question brings up this rather incomplete page http://www.colum.edu/About_Columbia//Visit/Maps_-_...

    which may be the one you have in mind, but who can tell?

    Backing up the sequence to maps on that page and then following a link, puts us on this page http://g.co/maps/667az of Google maps and using street view (if it does not come up with the link) shows a park with ball and other statues, but zoom doesn't take us in very far to see better.

    So back to asking Columbia - at least it's official.
