The
tradition was established by a young gentleman from Victorian England,
who attended Yale in the 1890's. The line now numbers 17, and the
original successors have been the intimates of deans, directors, and coaches.
One was tended by a head cheerleader who went on to become the Secretary
of State. Another was featured on the cover of a national magazine. Yale
was the first university in the United States to adopt a mascot, and to
this date, none is better known than Handsome Dan.
