Traditions
Maroon & Gold
In 1880, the University of Minnesota was preparing for spring graduation. For the previous 29 years, different graduation colors were used every ceremony. In the spring of 1880, President Folwell began a tradition of common school
colors at the University. He asked an English instructor, Mrs. Augusta Smith, to select proper colors to use for graduation ribbons and other occasions. She chose maroon and gold, which made a favorable impression on the students
and faculty in 1880. As the years passed and without any kind of formal action, maroon and gold became the official school colors.
Ski-U-Mah
This famous Minnesota phrase, pronounced SKY-YOU-MAH, is more than 115 years old. In 1884, two Minnesota
rugby players, John W. Adams and Win Sargent, tried to think of a fitting team yell. They used the word “Ski”, a Sioux
battle cry meaning victory, and combined it with “U-Mah” (representing the University of Minnesota and rhyming with
“rah-rah-rah”) to create a team cheer. The phrase stuck and was incorporated into both official school songs, “Hail
Minnesota” and more commonly in the “Minnesota Rouser.”
The Gopher Nickname
The Gopher mascot is a tradition as old as the state. Minnesota was tabbed the “Gopher State” in 1857 after a satirizing cartoon, depicting nine Gophers with the heads of local politicians pulling a locomotive, was published. The story
was over legislative action for a $5 million railroad proposal in western Minnesota. Later, the University picked up the
nickname.
The “Golden” Gophers
The “Golden” adjective has not always been a part of the Gopher nickname. During the 1930s, the Gophers wore gold
jerseys and pants. Legendary KSTP-AM radio announcer Halsey Hall coined the term “Golden Gophers” in reference
to the team’s all-gold attire on the field. From 1932-41, Minnesota compiled an impressive record, losing only 12
games in the 10-year span and winning seven Big Ten titles and five national championships — a true “golden”
decade of Gopher football.
The Minnesota Rouser
The “Minnesota Rouser” is one of two official school songs at the University of Minnesota. It was written in 1909 by
Floyd M. Hutsell in response to a contest sponsored by the Minneapolis Tribune. The contest was judged by University President Cyrus Northrop and Governor A.O. Eberhart, with the winner receiving $100. The Rouser is sung at Gopher sporting events, along with the other official University song, “Hail! Minnesota.”
