Question: How and when was the bulldog chosen as the mascot of the University of Georgia?
Answer: One theory cites the university's strong ties with Yale, whose nickname is also the Bulldogs. Georgia's first president, Abraham Baldwin, was a Yale man.
In the first press mention of UGA bulldogs, in 1901, The Atlanta Constitution reported that Georgia rooters at an Auburn game wore "Eat 'em Georgia" badges with a bulldog chewing an orange and blue cloth. In 1938, a bulldog was crowned during homecoming to become UGA's official mascot.
