One of Ohio State’s most storied figures, the founding of Brutus Buckeye began with the hard work and dedication of Ohio State students and student organizations.
Ohio State had no mascot prior to 1965, when students took matters into their own hands and launched an effort to create one. In October 1965, students Ray Bourhis and Sally (Huber) Lanyon began to build a papier-mâché mascot and thus Brutus was born!
