Where did Brutus Buckeye come from?

The Ohio State University Archives explains about the selection of Brutus Buckeye . --quote-- In 1965 Brutus Buckeye hit the scene when student Ray Bourhis, along with other members of the student organization Ohio Staters Inc. , convinced the OSU athletic council of the idea of a Buckeye as Ohio State’s mascot.At the time, other schools used animals for their mascots and actually had the animals present at the games.

Bourhis thought the only animal fitting for Ohio was the buck deer, but bringing an actual buck to games would have been virtually impossible. He therefore chose a buckeye to serve as the Ohio State mascot. The buckeye was later named Brutus in an all-campus naming contest and began his career as a large fiberglass shell which weighed forty pounds.

Brutus was the responsibility of the Block 'O' cheering section during the early 1970s. He was then turned over to the Athletic Department. Since then, Brutus has gone through several updates, and today is a much more lightweight and active part of Ohio State sporting and spirit events.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
