American colleges and universities all have some sort of mascot or character. I think it's a federal law. My school, St. Louis University, is in the running for the most absurd with the Billiken, https://www.slu.edu/about/key-facts/what-is-a-billiken.php. Penn State has the Nittany Lion, named for wildcats that may once have prowled Mt. Nittany down the road. (It's in the middle of the Alleghenies.) There is a statue in the center of the campus where every single graduate must get a photograph. The eyes seem awfully blank to me.
Home tonight.
