Just what is a Hokie, anyway? That’s the most often-asked question in Virginia Tech athletics. The answer leads all the way back to 1896 when Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College changed its name to Virginia Polytechnic Institute. With the change came the necessity for writing a new cheer and a contest for such a purpose was held by the student body. Senior O.M. Stull won first prize for his “Hokie” yell which still is used today. Later, when asked if “Hokie” had any special meaning, Stull explained the word was solely the product of his imagination and was used only as an attention-getter for his yell. It soon became a nickname for all Tech teams and for those people loyal to Tech athletics. The official school colors — Chicago maroon and burnt orange — also were introduced in 1896. They were chosen because they made a “unique combination” not worn elsewhere at the time. The Hokie Stone Story Most of the buildings on the beautiful Tech campus are constructed using Hokie Stone. This natural rock is 475-million-year-old dolomite limestone, some of which is mined from a quarry located not far from from Cassell Coliseum. In constructing the buildings at Tech, a stone mason shapes individual stones, arranges them and cements them together with mortar to create walls of great Tech’s lovable strength and durability. mascot — the An image of Hokie Stone is used on the covers of this guide, as well as the HokieBird background of each individual page.
