Penn State's athletic symbol, chosen by the student body
in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamed central Pennsylvania.
H.D. "Joe" Mason, a member of the Class of 1907, conducted a
one-man campaign to choose a school mascot after seeing the Princeton
tiger on a trip with the Penn State baseball team to that New Jersey campus.
A student publication sponsored the campaign to select a mascot and Penn
State is believed to be the first college to adopt the lion as a mascot.
Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley at
the foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as a Nittany Lion.
In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Nee) was a valorous Indian princess
in whose honor the Great Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A later
namesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived near the mouth of Penn's
Creek, fell in love with Malachi Boyer, a trader. The tearful maiden and
her lost lover became legend and her name was given to the stately mountain.
Nittany Lion Shrine
Penn State's Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated on Oct.
24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend.
Animal sculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph
Garatti molded a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone into the most recognizable
symbol of Penn State. The shrine was chosen from six models submitted
by Warneke.
The shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests in
a natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. The site was chosen
because of its accessibility, the surrounding trees and the fact that
the sculpture would not be dwarfed by nearby buildings.
