What’s in a Name?

A new exhibit opened this week in the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center.  Drawn primarily from the University of Connecticut Memorabilia Collection housed in Archives & Special Collections, the exhibition highlights the variety of avenues by which the University of Connecticut has represented and identified since is establishment in 1881.  Past logos, letterhead and mascots are represented on pins, buttons, patches, clothing, documents and other materials.  Check out the Husky Hoops game or work on the UConn football puzzle.  A film series of recently digitized historic film is to be scheduled for lunch time viewing on selected Fridays throughout the summer (schedule to be announced soon).  The exhibit is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 – 4:30 in the Dodd Center Gallery through September 26, 2014. 

Articles providing some background about the institution’s colors (and shades of colors), mascot, and memories are available online (http://www.advance.uconn.edu/uconnhistory/) and in the binder located in the Gallery.
