In 1963, the University mascot became a bare-faced horseback rider in Cavalier garb. Both the horse and rider were furnished by the UVa Polo Club. However, the mounted Cavalier and his horse parted company in 1974 with the inception of Astroturf at Scott Stadium. From 1974 to 1982, the Cavalier performed on foot. The 'Hoo, an orange-costumed mascot, made a brief appearance in 1983 but did not capture the support of the student body. The costumed Cavalier with a large character head debuted the following football season in 1984 and has remained the official mascot of the University. The Cavalier performs with the UVa cheerleaders at all football and men's and women's basketball games as well as various other University-related and athletic events. The Cavalier is selected from the student body through open tryouts. The mounted Cavalier made its return in the Florida Citrus Bowl at the end of the 1989 football season. Due to its instant popularity, the Cavalier on horseback returned the following season on a regular basis and continues to lead the Virginia football team onto the field at the beginning of all home games.

Virginia's first mascot was a black-and-white mongrel dog named Beta, who was cherished by the University community in the 1920s and '30s. The canine was named after the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, which bought his license at least once. Considered no less than a member of the student body, Beta pursued a wide range of interests--from football to scholarly discourse. He was welcomed at most University functions, including dances, fraternity parties and lectures. He attended a course at Cabell Hall about Plato so frequently that his name was called in the roll, at which time he would bark out his presence. His most famous exploit came after being left behind in Athens, Ga., following a UVa football game with Georgia. It was not until two weeks later that a scratch was heard at the back door of the Beta House, and a cold, ragged and hungry Beta stood there. It is not known how he found his way home. As befitted a dog of his stature, Beta enjoyed a great deal of notoriety. Hailed by the University as the nation's "No. 1 college dog," he was mentioned on a nationwide broadcast of the Pontiac radio show and appeared in Look magazine.

On April 6, 1939, Beta was hit by an automobile and had to be put to sleep. An estimated one thousand students marched in the funeral procession from the Beta House (now Delta Upsilon) to the University Cemetery.

Seal, a cross-eyed black mongrel mutt, continued the University's tradition of dog mascots in the mid-1940s. His sleek coat of fur earned him the name Seal, and he later became known as the "Great Seal of Virginia."

The beloved mascot was allowed in UVa lecture halls and nearly everywhere else around town. Even local restaurants with signs reading, "No Dogs Allowed," wrote below in parentheses, "except Seal." He was fed by different fraternities as well as the University Cafeteria and could often be found at the home of the late Dr. Charles Frankel, a long-time football team doctor at UVa
