SO CLOSE, YOU CAN ALMOST TASTE THE VICTORY!

TraditionsMaroon & GoldIn 1880, the University of Minnesota was preparing for spring graduation. For the previous 29 years, different grad-uation colors were used every ceremony. In the spring of 1880, President Folwell began a tradition of common schoolcolors at the University. He asked an English instructor, Mrs. Augusta Smith, to select proper colors to use for gradu-ation ribbons and other occasions. She chose maroon and gold, which made a favorable impression on the studentsand faculty in 1880. As the years passed and without any kind of formal action, maroon and gold became the officialschool colors.

Ski-U-MahThis famous Minnesota phrase, pronounced SKY-YOU-MAH, is more than 115 years old. In 1884, two Minnesotarugby players, John W. Adams and Win Sargent, tried to think of a fitting team yell. They used the word “Ski”, a Siouxbattle cry meaning victory, and combined it with “U-Mah” (representing the University of Minnesota and rhyming with“rah-rah-rah”) to create a team cheer. The phrase stuck and was incorporated into both official school songs, “HailMinnesota” and more commonly in the “Minnesota Rouser.”

The Gopher NicknameThe Gopher mascot is a tradition as old as the state. Minnesota was tabbed the “Gopher State” in 1857 after a sat-irizing cartoon, depicting nine Gophers with the heads of local politicians pulling a locomotive, was published. The storywas over legislative action for a $5 million railroad proposal in western Minnesota. Later, the University picked up thenickname.

The “Golden” GophersThe “Golden” adjective has not always been a part of the Gopher nickname. During the 1930s, the Gophers wore goldjerseys and pants. Legendary KSTP-AM radio announcer Halsey Hall coined the term “Golden Gophers” in referenceto the team’s all-gold attire on the field. From 1932-41, Minnesota compiled an impressive record, losing only 12games in the 10-year span and winning seven Big Ten titles and five national championships — a true “golden”decade of Gopher football.

The Minnesota RouserThe “Minnesota Rouser” is one of two official school songs at the University of Minnesota. It was written in 1909 byFloyd M. Hutsell in response to a contest sponsored by the Minneapolis Tribune. The contest was judged by Univer-sity President Cyrus Northrop and Governor A.O. Eberhart, with the winner receiving $100. The Rouser is sung at Go-pher sporting events, along with the other official University song, “Hail! Minnesota.”
