1995 ff OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY BEAVER MASCOT The "Beaver" mascot, both the name and image, has had a long and exciting tradition at Oregon State University. The term "Beavers" was first used as an Oregon Agricultural College (OAC) athletic team name in 1910. Prior to 1910, the institution's mascot had been a coyote named "Jimmie". This mascot dates back to at least 1893, about the time football was introduced as a collegiate sport. During this time period, the mascot and team names were separate. The athletic teams had either been referred to as the "Orangemen" or as the "Aggies". There are refer- ences in the OSU Archives to other mascots, including "J.R.N. Bell" an avid athletic booster, and a bulldog that appeared in photos from the 1894 to 1910 period. The yearbook, which began in 1907 as "The Orange" changed its title to "The Beaver" in 1916. The beaver was probably selected by OAC because of the engineering skills of the beaver (commonly referred to as "nature's engineer"), and because Oregon's professional engineering academic programs were located at OAC-- Oregon's land grant institution. Although the Beaver was not officially adopted as the State Animal of Oregon until 1969, Oregon had been known as the "Beaver State" since at least 1859 due to the portrayal of the beaver on the obverse side of the State of Oregon flag. The beaver mascot images on the front cover portray the beaver in various forms ranging from the 1920s up to the present. Beginning in the 11:00 position, the images illustrate the changing and evolving image of OSU's use of the beaver as both a name and as a mascot. ((11:00 position) In one of the earliest beaver images used by Oregon State Agricultural College, a beaver is shown kicking a football in 1928. v'(12:00) In the late 1930's, a beaver was shown standing atop the OSC (Oregon State College) letters. Note: The institution dropped "Agricultural" from its name beginning with the publication of the 1937-38 General Catalog. ./ (2:00) A 1942 beaver image illustrates how the beaver appeared at the beginning ofWorld War II. 1' (3:00) The happy beaver beating the drum with its tail dates from 1955. i' (4:00) In 1954, the beaver wore a beanie (also referred to as a sailor cap) with the OSC letters. The beanie was first added tothe beaver caricature dunng World War II. v' (5:00) By 1957, the beavers teeth had grown to prominence. ./ (6:00) The beaver illustrated in 1959 had combined the new recognizable face with predominate incisors and a beanie situated low over the forehead. v' (9:00) The beaver depicted in the 1962 caricature was drawn by Melvin Yost. The cartoon illustration shows the beaver wearing a football helmet and holding a butterfly net. This was one of the first references to the new institution name, Oregon State University. The change from Oregon State College was signed into law by Govemor Mark 0. Hatfield on March 6, 1961. v'(10:00) The 1991 beaver outline depiction was drawn by Amy Charon. This image has been used on numerous occasions for invitations, new student programs, and other promotional purposes. v' (Center) This is perhaps the most familiar caricature of OSU's beaver mascot. This beaver image has been used extensively on numerous promotional and merchandising items sold at the OSU Book Store. The photographs on the front cover depict various scenes of "Benny the Beaver" in costume. Reference to the name "Benny the Beaver" as OSU's mascot dates back to 1946. The first appearance of Benny the Beaver (as a costumed student) occurred on September 18, 1952 when Benny was introduced by the Rally Squad to the Oregon State College student body. At the end of the basketball season in 1953, Ken Austin was revealed to be the first costumed Benny Beaver mascot. Since that time, Benny has occasionally been joined by "Bernice the Beaver" to help promote enthusiasm and excitement at football, basketball, volleyball and other athletic events. The photos are, from left to right, dated 1951, 1959, and 1994. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The information contained in this 7th edition of theOSU Fact Bookref lects the contributions of many individuals.
