The wildcat was voted in as the official
college mascot in February, 1926. The Durham Bulls (a named given to the
varsity hockey team by the media) was a close runner up, but the Wildcat
won it in the final count. Before the election, the N. H. Club went on
record in The New Hampshire as favoring the wildcat for
these
reasons.
The Wildcat is small and aggressive -- like New Hampshire. The
actions of the wildcat are more symbolic of a New Hampshire team on the
field than those of the sluggish bull. Furthermore, the actual mascot, if
a wildcat, could be more easily transported from place to place than a
bull.
