Crimson L1ncffBl'ue by Gina Thornburg The University of Kansas adopted the colors of crimson and blue in 1896. The University originally used the colors of the Univer- sity of Michigan, maize and sky blue. These colors stayed with the University of Kansas until the first intercollegiate football team played in 1890. At that point, University officials decided that crimson would become a spirit color for the University. They did so because a Harvard man, Col. john I. McCook, had given money for the playing field. Yale's blue became the other color after Yale graduate faculty members decided that they did not want their alma mater forgotten, After the adoption of the crimson and blue in 1896 the University never changed the colors again, withstanding the passage of 100 years at the University.

7 rf R ,ff History of the il am by Adri jones The University of Kansas' Iayhawk is a mythical bird that, over the last 54 years, has metamorphizied into a lovable yet fearful mascot. The term Iayhawk is derived from the combination of two birds the blue jay and the sparrow hawk. During the 1850's free state advocates were called Iayhawkers in connection with their looting and attacks on other's settlements. The term Iayhawks transferred to the University because of its location in the Free State stronghold city of Lawrence. In 1886, the Iayhawk appeared in the Rock Chalk chant and was carried over to the football team in 1890. The mascot has had various artists over the centuries and has changed appearance accordingly. In addition, the Jayhawk has taken on many shapes and dimensions, and in 1971 gave birth to the miniature sidekick, Baby lay. ,Q l - .. l 11 W rv PM U I 9 I I I 920 I 92 3 6 jayhzw Fc S alx
