Governor Clarence D. Martin presented Butch II to the student body in 1938. Butch III and IV were twin cubs presented by Governor Arthur B. Langlie in January 1942. Governor Langlie also presented Butch V in 1955. Butch VI, the last live mascot on campus, died in the summer of 1978. Governor Albert Rosellini had presented him to Washington State University in 1964 from the Seattle Zoo.

Randall Johnson, Class of 1938, designed the original Washington State College monogram in 1936. It was originally used on the side of college trucks and was later used on the side of the stadium, on letterhead, and pennants. In 1959, when the institution's name was changed to Washington State University, Randall recreated the emblem to incorporate the U in place of the C and created an all too recognizable image we are familiar with today. |
