From that day on, there has been a pair largest university student-managed festivals. of swans on Lake LaVerne. The festival got its name from the first letters of Iowa State’s first colleges: Veterinary Medicine, When Iowa State’s young football team beat Engineering, Industrial Science, Home Economics, Northwestern University 36 to 0 in 1895, and article and Agriculture. Two of VEISHEA’s long-standing in the Chicago Tribune said, “Northwestern might as traditions are individual cherry pies and the musical well have tried to play football with an Iowa cyclone production “Stars Over VEISHEA.” as with the Iowa team it met yesterday.” Thus, the “Cyclones” were born.

The tradition of “campaniling” states that a student officially becomes an Iowa Stater when he or she is kissed under the university’s campanile at the stroke of midnight.

The Fountain of the Four Seasons by artist-in- residence, Christian Petersen (Danish-American, 1885-1961), is located in front of the Memorial Union and was a gift from the 1937 VEISHEA Committee. In 1942, Christian Petersen added four sculptures to represent the four seasons. The east sculpture represents spring with the planting of corn; south - summer, sheltering a young plant; west - fall, holding the harvest; and north - winter, nursing a child. Legend has it that good luck will come to you if you throw a coin in the fountain.
