all the way from a “dicky-bird” with a huge
bill, wearing boots to a disconsolate crow and
to a fierce looking fighting bird. All very well
as a totem of the clan to express unity and
loyalty, but the spirit of the Jayhawk refuses
to be photographed.

But no matter about the origin of this
mythical creature, about its uncertain his-
tory, about its early use by people whose ac-
tions were sometimes questionable; today
“Jayhawk” embodies the Kansas spirit, the
University spirit of unity, loyalty, honesty
and right living.
