TraditionsWhen Connecticut Agricultural College became Connecticut State College in 1933, the institution’s athletic teams could no longer be called "Aggies." The following year, the student newspaper, The Connecticut Campus, conducted a student survey to select a mascot. The top choice was the husky dog. A student contest resulted in naming the dog "Jonathan" for Jonathan Trumbull, Connecticut's Revolutionary War-era governor. The first Jonathan was a black and white husky. However, all subsequent dogs have been all-white. UConn’s current mascot is Jonathan XIII. The husky dog was immortalized on the Storrs campus in 1995 with a statue by artist Larry Waisele. The statue is a popular photo spot. Students often rub the nose of the statue for good luck. A costumed mascot inspires school spirit at UConn athletic events and other campus activities. The words to UConn’s school song, Alma Mater, also known as Old Connecticut, were written by University alumna Alice Sawin Davis, Class of 1925. Another popular University hymn is UConn Husky, the University's fight song. The tune, written by Herbert France, a former head of the music department Notable Alumni
