What is an Indiana Sycamore? What is a Sycamore? Is it a tree with long showy yellow flowers and widely planted for shade areas? Is it an Indi- an who runs around the court or field during sporting events? Or is it a student who attends an average size university toward the north end of Terre Haute, IN? Ac- tually all are correct in their own meaning but the latter seems to fulfill the question. The photos on these two pages were compiled through a Sycamore staff contest entitled. ttlndiana State is . . Wnner was Doug McSchooIer topposite paget.

However a Sycamore is the state tree, and ISU is a state university. From as far back as the 19205, Indiana State had been nicknamed 'iSyca- mores. In 1924, the year- book changed its name from the Normal Advance to the Sycamore. But how did a Sycamore come to Terre Haute? Over a hundred years ago in 1865,1ndiana of- fered bids for a state college. By 1869, Indiana State Teachers College was formed and thus began a Sycamore. Through the years, changes have been made in buildings, programs offered, and faculty, but the best has been made in required aca- demic costume wear. Imag- ine 11,000 students running around on campus today in the same outfits. Today, Sycamores are the ISU vari- ety. - by Shelia Hoffman SYCAMORE
