From The Executive Director Davies Bisset ’85 Alumni, Parents and Friends: Happy Holidays to all! With the fall athletic season behind us, the cleats and Speedos and volleyball nets have been put to rest and we’ve pulled out the wrestling mats, basketballs and parallel bars. (Not to mention pucks, sabers and hurdles.) The football tailgate parties in Parking Lot A, especially at the two night games, are a fading memory as those same rambunctious student revelers are now encamped at the Rock and SciLi studying for exams. AD Jack Hayes and I hit the road this fall to Texas, Chicago, NYC and Washington, DC. Wherever we go, we are reminded of the great love our alumni and parents have for Brown. Memories of athletic games and athletic accomplishments tie generations of BUSF Executive Director Davies Bisset ’85 alumni, parents and students together, and the stories with Thomas Payton ’07 at the Greenwich Aquatic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. get better with each retelling. Common threads are always the life lessons learned in competition and the tangible impact Brown coaches have had on student-athletes through the years. Great news for Brown Athletics --- we are so happy to announce the creation of a four million dollar endowment for Women’s Athletics --- established by Pam Keld ’83 and her husband Joseph Edelman. Pam was a track and field athlete at Brown and is the mom of young daughters who love sports. This new endowment supports all aspects of women’s athletics at Brown. Hats off to the Keld-Edelman family for this amazing gift! Do you like our cover model? Brown Athletics has a new resident on Ittleson Quadrangle and his name is “Indomitable.” This 10-foot Kodiak bear statue was unveiled and dedicated over Homecoming Weekend in November, and stands watch over the Nelson Fitness Center. Long-time athletic supporters Tony Ittleson ’60 and Jonathan Nelson ’77 helped bring this “new” bear to Brown. You must see Indomitable for yourself, and bring your camera! (Read the awesome story starting on page 20) Check out the photos of some of the student-athlete who made “thank you” calls to BUSF donors this fall. (Page 3) Many of you told us how much you appreciated this gesture by these terrific young men and women. Our student-athletes really do appreciate what you do for them! Many wonderful BUSF supporters came to campus this fall, or attended BUSF functions on the road. I can’t shake the image of Skip Pierce P’14 cooking eggs one early morning in the OMAC parking lot prior to the Brown Men’s Lacrosse scrimmage! Or the Lubar Family P’14 rocking a Wisconsin-style tailgate on Family Weekend, with guests including Tom Gahan ’84 and his beautiful clan. Brown Sailing alumnus Chase Hogoboom ’03 and former Brown Wrestler Joe Mocco ’93 held a pig roast in Lot A before the Penn game, not far from the Gilbane family’s annual tailgate. Other fall visitors included Polly Handy ’85, Davis Clayson ’86, Matt Parker ’88, Chuck Davis ’82 and son Jared Davis ’13, Ken Carlson ’86, newly minted alumna Sydney Jacobs ’13 and her 2013 Women’s Lax teammates. In Texas we saw Bud Brooks ’84 and John O’Brien ’82 (Dallas), Jens Gjerset ’87 and Doug Ulman ’99 (Austin), and Marianne Quoyesar ’83 P’15 and Mike Kezirian Ph.D. ’89 (Houston) just to name a few. I also caught up with Chris Esemplare ’87, Andrea Cohen ’84, David Roberts ’86, John Keogh ’86 and Jed McCarthy ’83. I also had the privilege of sitting with the Payton Family as Tom Payton ’07 was inducted into the Greenwich, CT Aquatic Hall of Fame. What a terrific family! Thank you for your continued support of Brown Athletics and our fantastic student-athletes. As you count down the remaining days of 2013, please find the time to make a year-end gift to Brown Athletics! Wishing you all the best in 2014, I remain, Ever True,

Athletic Director Jack Hayes’ Strategic Plan for Athletics Athletic Director Jack Hayes will be implementing a strategic plan specifically for athletics as the year progresses. The development of a five-year athletic strategic plan enables the department to work with members of the University community - faculty, administrators, students - to examine ways to enhance the athletics program. Hayes’ goals for the strategic plan are to set specific objective for the upcoming years involving academic success and student-athlete development, future facility projects, competitiveness, staff development, generating revenue (ticket sales, facility rentals, corporate partnerships, fundraising) and club sport/intramural/recreation. It will be a document that includes goals, objectives and plans for 2014-2019. Another goal is to put policies and plans in writing that might already be taking place informally. As the plan takes shape over the coming semester, we will provide information to the alumni, parents and friends of Brown Athletics.

A True Mama Bear
Jeslyn Russo P’15 - a proud Brown parent Every year, thousands of seniors in high school choose a second home as they prepare for college. It’s a life-changing decision that takes months of planning and deliberation. For the students, this process can be all at once terrifying, exhilarating and liberating. But what about the parents? How do they deal with a child choosing the next four years of their lives? For many parents, there’s a hope that their own alma mater will be taken into consideration. For Xavier “X” Russo ’15 and his mother Jeslyn (Jes), a proud 1977 graduate of Ivy League rival Penn, the process was both heartbreaking and satisfying. “I took X to visit Penn, I was so excited,” said Jes Russo P’15. “He looked at me after the visit and said right away that he was unimpressed… I couldn’t believe it! This is Penn, what’s not to like?” “Penn just didn’t have the same campus feeling that I got from other schools. It was nothing like the feeling I got from Brown,” said Xavier who also visited Columbia that weekend with similar results. Xavier visited other Ivy campuses but was sold on arrival at College Hill. Following the initial rejection she felt after her son’s dismissal of Penn, Jes couldn’t have been happier with Xavier’s choice. “Brown is such a perfect place for him,” she said. “He came from a Jesuit school in San Francisco. Brown’s campus is so special. I know he’s happy here, which was obviously most important to me.” Russo made the correct decision (even mom agrees completely) and it has certainly paid off for Head Coach Phil Estes and the Bears, but the BEO-Organizational Studies concentrator might not have even attended Brown if it wasn’t for his self-proclaimed
Jeslyn Russo P’15 with her son Xavier Russo ’15. “helicopter parent.” Up until senior year, Russo, a 6-foot-4 pitcher that could hit 87 MPH on the radar gun, was set to play college baseball. The late change of plans senior year required some quick decision making and planning to get on the radar of college coaches. “When I told my parents I wanted to play football rather than baseball, they were behind me all the way,” said Russo. “I decided I wanted to play football in college so late, I was very pressed for time to get a highlight tape together and contact coaches. My parents were so helpful, but it certainly was hectic.” “I became his administrative assistant once he decided to play football his senior year,” added Jes. “I was all over him about recruiting tapes and exactly when each had to be in. It was exciting for me, but I think he was probably a bit frustrated.” Three years later, the son loves Brown and is a starting linebacker for the Bears. “The Brown football team is a family that I am very proud to be a part of,” added Russo. It all worked out for mom too as Jes made it out to seven of the 10 games in 2013. She put her alma mater in the back seat to become a true “Mama Bear”.

1963 Men’s Soccer - Brown’s First Ivy Champions The 1963 squad set the standard for all Brown athletic programs.
In today’s Ivy League where six different schools have won or shared the title in the past six seasons (at start of 2013), it seems nearly impossible for one team to win six Ivy Championships in a row. The men’s soccer team of 1963 made it a reality. “The 1963 men’s soccer team put Brown Athletics on the map,” said Peter Mackie ’59 Brown’s unofficial athletics historian. “Brown went seven years without winning a championship when the Ivy League began in 1956. This team started a string of soccer championships.” Led by legendary Head Coach Cliff Stevenson ADE ’68 hon. P’75, P’76, P’78, the 1963 team set the table for a stretch of 10 titles in 14 seasons from 1963-1976. Men’s soccer alumni and friends gathered on the weekend of October 12-13 to celebrate and reminisce about their time as student-athletes. The team attended a tailgate on Saturday afternoon before the Brown vs. Princeton varsity match. On Sunday, the 1963 team and members of the current varsity team and coaching staff gathered for a brunch at the Hope Club in Providence.

Young Athletic Alumni Council
David Healy ’07 was a co-founder of the YAAC in 2007 following graduation. five minutes,” said Healy. “Give your time and volunteer at events, try to reach out to your classmates and extend the knowledge of giving. Your time is just as valuable as your money. We need both to be successful.” Healy knew the young alumni were unable to match the giving amounts of the elder statesmen of Brown Athletics, but he saw the value in growing a group that would enhance the culture of giving.
David Healy ’07 and Sarah Roberts ’10 co-chair the Young Athletic Alumni Council.
“I
want people to know how to give back to Brown, that’s the main goal for this group,” said David Healy ’07, the Co-Chair of the Young Athletic Alumni Council along with Sarah Roberts ’10. When a group of young alumni realized they were unable to support the University and Brown Athletics in the same capacity as the older and more established volunteers within the Sports Foundation, Healy and Heather McCrea ’02 founded the Young Athletic Alumni Council. According to Healy, the mission has always been to connect recent graduates and inform them about giving to the University. “It’s so easy to give. Give online, it takes
“I thought the University wasn’t doing a great job staying connected with the young alumni,” he added. “We wanted to focus on participation. Get people conditioned to give back and to think about giving back. It’s possible to have 50-percent of athletic alumni give, but the reality is that we are so far away. It’s still becoming part of the culture.” The YAAC hosts annual events in NYC and recently hosted the first event in Boston. Beyond increasing awareness of how to give and to connect the young alumni, Healy hopes to extend the council’s range beyond the Northeast. “The ultimate goal is to have events in multiple cities to create opportunities to connect with people all over the country and learn how to give back,” said Healy. “We have large alumni groups in D.C., L.A. and Chicago.” Healy, a former member of the Brown football program, credits a steady influence from the Brown Football Association for his desire to give back and pay it
forward. Since graduation, he has also taken a role with the BFA mentoring program, speaking to members of the football team on an annual basis. “I was fortunate to have a number of alumni that had a great influence on me getting a job and taking that first step in my career,” said Healy from his office in New York City with the National Football League. “I wanted to give back and try to create opportunities for other young people that were in a similar situation.” As a 2007 graduate, Healy knows his time as a young alumnus is limited but he sees no end in sight for his love for Brown and the alumni. “I’ve had a lot of fun with the YAAC,” he said. “Brown is a special place, the alumni are tremendous. I’ve really enjoyed trying to keep them connected to the University and to fellow studentathletes.”

Sarah Roberts ’10 was named a co-chair of the YAAC in 2013. Brown Bear Magazine (BBM): Why have you chosen to get involved with this council? Sarah Roberts (SR): I originally became involved with BUSF during my senior year at Brown when I served as Athletics CoChair of the Senior Gift committee with Scott Van Der Linden ’10. After we graduated, Scott and I were asked to serve on the YAAC for BUSF. The decision was easy for me to stay involved because I am so grateful for the skills and friends I gained during my experience on the Brown squash team. I run a start-up fitness company, 305 Fitness, with another Brown grad and every day I rely on the experiences I had as a student athlete: I need to motivate a team, work autonomously, juggle different priorities, and take on new challenges with a positive outlook. Another reason I am grateful for Brown Athletics is that my teammates are also some of my best friends. In fact, I met my future husband on the squash team and our coach, Stuart, will actually be officiating our wedding ceremony in June! So, clearly, Brown Athletics had a large impact on my life and I know that is the case for almost everyone that comes out of the program. I want to do my best to help grow the program so that future Brown student-athletes have an even better experience than I did.
BBM: Your life is obviously very hectic as a recent grad, what is it about the YAAC that is worth the time and effort you put in? SR: BUSF really does need young alumni support! I am not sure if other schools need their young alumni as much as Brown does. Our fundraising efforts make a difference in the everyday lives of student athletes. BUSF raises over 40% of the annual operating budget for athletics so it’s crucial that we continue to grow our number of gifts each year. I also feel honored to serve as co-chair of the council and represent the smaller athletic programs at Brown. BBM: How do you think you can grow the YAAC in the future? What would you like to see from this council as you continue your leadership role? SR: One of our main goals this fiscal year is to grow young alumni support in other major cities outside of New York. Since the council meets in New York and there are a large number of athletic alumni here, our past efforts have been focused on New York. This year we are looking to host more events outside of New York (like the one we had in Boston this Fall) and have representatives in cities like Chicago, D.C., San Francisco, L.A. and London. I’d like to see the council work more closely with the Board of the Sports Foundation. I believe young alumni have a unique perspective on Brown Athletics since we are not that far removed from our own experiences as student-athletes.

Moving Forward While Looking Back - Sankofa Lacrosse Chazz Woodson ’05 channels Brown experience to spread change in the game of lacrosse. As a student-athlete, Chazz Woodson ’05 learned the African term Sankofa. Sankofa can be translated to, “It’s not taboo to go back and fetch what you’ve forgotten.” Woodson has taken this term and, along with Kyle Harrison of Johns Hopkins, established the Sankofa Lacrosse Alliance (SLA) to spread the game of lacrosse and promote academic, professional and social achievement for the next generation of lacrosse players. As part of the initiative, he also helped to organize The Ambassadors, a team comprised completely of black players, a first of its kind in the modern era of lacrosse. For the logo, he chose the mythical Sankofa bird which flies forward while looking back. The bird carries an egg (for SLA - a lacrosse stick) in its mouth as a symbol of the future. The SLA is made up of the top black players from across the country to help promote the game and create opportunities for the next set of African American players. This current group has been named “The Ambassadors” by Woodson and Harrison. Roger Ferguson ’13 is also a member of the inaugural team. “We want to celebrate black lacrosse history and to grow the game to all communities,” said Woodson at a speaking event on the Brown campus on October 25, 2013. “We’ve been given so much and it’s impossible to repay that effort by those who came before us. What we can do is to pay it forward. We can open the door for future generations both in the game and through opportunities provided by the game.” Brown University and Lars Tiffany ’90, the Rothman Head Coach of Men’s Lacrosse, hosted a three-team exhibition on College Hill featuring the Brown varsity, SLA and Team England. Results aside
(Brown defeated Sankofa but fell to England) it was a groundbreaking day for the lacrosse community. Woodson created the SLA after years of trying to organize the allblack team. The duo wanted to do more than just establish a team of all-black players. They wanted to ensure that this program had a greater purpose beyond playing in a few tournaments each year. They spoke to the crowd prior to the exhibitions at Brown’s Meister-Kavan Field. They were joined by Babson College Professor of History, and former African American star at Syracuse, Frederick Opie. Opie was able to discuss the history of lacrosse in the black community, including information on the “Ten Bears”, the first lacrosse team at a Historically Black College, Morgan State in 1971. Interestingly, Harrison’s father, Dr. Miles Harrison, was a member of the first team at Morgan State. “One of the African American groups at Brown, ONYX, has a tradition where the underclassmen line up at 6:00 a.m. to save spots for the seniors during Commencement,” said Woodson. “That tradition is a symbol of all the sacrifices that those before have made so that the current students can succeed and walk through those gates. That’s what this is, an opportunity for this team to hold the door for the people who will come after us.” Woodson hopes The Ambassadors and the SLA will help spread change throughout the game. The team will be playing in highlevel tournaments in the future and in exhibitions against top collegiate programs. To learn more about the Sankofa Lacrosse Alliance or to get involved, follow the SLA on Facebook or on twitter @SankofaLax.
“We want this team to become a mechanism for change in the game. Guys can go out in different communities and use the sport to help people both on and off the field. I can’t tell you what it will look like in 10 years, but I know that we’ll have helped a lot of people.”

Bench Press For Cancer
Brown Football continues annual fundraiser for cancer research. The Brown football program hosted its annual Bench Press for Cancer on November 4, 2013 on the main green outside Sayles Hall on the University campus. Since the program’s inception in 2006, over $100,000 has been raised for cancer research. The event began following the death of former Brown football captain Lawrence Rubida in 2005. Rubida passed away after battling Ewing’s sarcoma, a form of cancer found in the bone or soft tissue. “Our goal is to not just increase money raised, but to increase awareness and get people involved,” said junior defensive back Caleb Cragle ’15. “We’ve had athletes from almost every sport here to participate, including women’s soccer, women’s rugby and cheerleading.”
Junior Caleb Cragle ’15 serves as the Chair of the Bench Press for Cancer and helped raise over $18,000.
Freshman center Clayton Eubank ’17 led the team with 44 reps of 165 lbs, Coach Estes put up 40 reps, and the team did over 2,500 total reps combined against cancer. Other Brown students participated as well, and there was approximately 150 lifters (men and women) who did 4,000 reps total. Cragle hopes to spread future events into the community to increase both awareness and funds. “We want this to become a community event,” added Cragle. “Brown Athletics is such a major part of this community and we really think this event can help to spread Brown Athletics throughout Providence.”
For more information or to donate, please visit benchpress4cancer.org.
The organizers hope to spread the event into the community in future years.
The event has spread beyond the football team. (L to R) Women’s soccer players Jenn Casey ’15 and Louisa Pitney ’14.
The women did their reps on a 65-pound bench. The men worked with 165-pounds.

Brown Wrestling and Junior Achievement
Brown Wrestling continues Junior Achievement Program with Providence area youth. - Billy Watterson ’14 For the second year in a row, the Brown University Wrestling Team partnered with Junior Achievement of Rhode Island. Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization focused on educating students, particularly from low income areas, on workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. Junior Achievement aims not just to prepare students for the real world, but to inspire and prepare young people to benefit their communities through responsible wealth management, entrepreneurship, and job creation. Brown University Wrestling provides its time, energy, and core values of loyalty, respect, discipline, self-reliance, good sportsmanship, friendship, and sacrifice to enhance the lives of Rhode Island youth throughout the community.
Brown wrestlers with members of the Junior Achievement Program this past spring.
The team’s relationship with Junior Achievement began in the fall of 2012 in concert with Brown Wrestling alumnus, Chris Ayers ’02—a member of the board of directors for Junior Achievement of Rhode Island. All twenty-six wrestlers traveled to the Citizen’s Memorial Elementary School in Woonsocket for Junior Achievement’s JA in a Day program and engaged the students in a variety of exercises and programs. So many students gave hugs and high-fives, and wrote letters and notes begging the Brown Wrestling Team to come back. They thanked us, and asked the team to stay in touch. It was impossible not to want to stay involved. The following spring, the team participated in a traditional Junior Achievement Program which was six sessions long. A program with such depth required a major commitment from the Brown wrestlers. The program, JA Economics for Success, took place at Gilbert-Stuart Middle School in Providence. This past spring, the team returned to Gilbert-Stuart for another six-session Junior Achievement Program. For the Brown Wrestling Team, Junior Achievement has been a great experience because it has provided the opportunity to give back and learn about Rhode Island and its youth. As a Brown wrestler and volunteer, I can say that Junior Achievement has had a powerful effect on my life and, I think, all of our lives. Working with the Junior Achievement Program has taught me how little opportunity some children have and showed me the incredible gaps in our education system. This has inspired what will be a life-long passion for equal opportunity in education; and this has led me to pursue internships, community service, and class choices all centered on learning about and creating educational opportunity.
For more information on the Junior Achievement Program and to get involved visit, Junior Achievement of Rhode Island’s website at http://jarhodeisland.org. Billy Watterson ’14, a history concentrator, has been named an Academic All-American by the National Wrestling Coaches Association in each of the past two seasons. The Bears’ starter at 125 lbs., Watterson tallied a 22-20 record as a junior and finished fifth at the EIWA Championships to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Watterson won his opening match at the NCAA Championships before dropping into the consolation bracket.
Billy Watterson ’14
This coming spring Watterson, will take a semester off from Brown to dedicate his time towards Beat The Streets, a sub-group of the Junior Achievement Program. He will wrestle unattached while still training with the Bears.

The Changing Face of Brown Athletics “The symbol of every great athletic program is the mascot,” said Brown University Director of Athletics Jack Hayes at the dedication of Indomitable on Homecoming Weekend. “Indomitable portrays Brown’s excellence, unity and the way this University does everything in a first-class manner.” As the University and the Brown Athletics department celebrated Homecoming Weekend on November 2, 2013, the latest and greatest Brown monument was officially installed and dedicated outside the Nelson Fitness Center on the Ittleson Quadrangle. A great weekend was highlighted by Brown Football’s 27-0 victory over then-unbeaten Penn at Brown Stadium earlier that day and capped off by the dedication of Indomitable that night.

British Artist Nick Bibby spoke at the dedication and described his masterpiece “as a tremendous specimen that represents magnificent strength and fearlessness. At the dedication, Bibby stated to raucous applause, “I think he could have been a great nose tackle for the football team, but after watching today’s game, I don’t think you need him!” The location of the 10-foot-4-inch bear, which sits on a four-foot platform to create a towering presence, is fitting as that part of campus has been completely renovated into one of the most visited spots at Brown. The project would not have happened without the vision of Jonathan Nelson ’77, P’07, P’09 and Tony Ittleson ’60, LHD’98 hon., P’89, P’90. Both benefactors played critical roles in bringing this idea of a new Brown Bear statue to life. With the guidance of the department of Public Art and the Percent-for-Art program (1% of all major capital projects is directed towards the public art committee), Indomitable now stands guard in front of the Nelson Fitness Center. The life-size Kodiak bear represents the complete overhaul of Brown athletic facilities taking place on College Hill.

Putting Hair on the Bear: The Saga of Bronze Bruno By Peter Mackie ’59
It was Commencement 1922, and roommates Herbert B. Keen 1907 and Henry G. Clark 1907 were back at Brown for their fifteenth reunion. For a class gift, Keen proposed to “put an artistic statue of our mascot, Bruno, on the campus to be a rallying center for student celebrations, etc.” The rationale was “the lack of a Bruno image after having been singing Al Chaffee’s song: “Here’s to Bruno, you know Bruno, for Bruno’s for Brown.” Since his image was mystical, we said, make him a reality.” Since Theodore Francis Green 1887 put the Bruno in Brunonia in 1904, live and costumed bears had appeared at major athletic contests, and the bear had been celebrated in verse and song. During that time, the notion of some permanent representation of Brown spirit had been festering, and Keen’s proposal crystallized the idea. The ‘20’s were beginning to roar, and rah-rah college spirit characterized campuses everywhere. At Brown, there were mass meetings, athletic rallies and songfests, and talk of a new athletic complex on Elmgrove Avenue was in the air. Despite the disappointment resulting from the Class of 1907’s decision to opt for a scholarship instead of a statue, the roommates were undeterred, and began engaging alumni about the Bruno idea. The response was, according to Keen, “instant and favorable”. The first to donate was Zechariah Chaffee 1880, who while passing by Keen in the Commencement procession, asked about the result of the class gift proposal. On hearing Keen’s answer, Chaffee “reached into his pocket, pulled out some bills, and
thrust them into my hands saying; “Start a public subscription among the alumni.” Chaffee’s donation was quickly followed by others who overheard his words. Fueled by the nostalgia of the moment, many quickly emptied their pockets or made a pledge. According to Keen’s account in the July Alumni Monthly, “All during Commencement Day, wherever the alumni gathered in groups, the subject of giving a bronze bear to the University was sure to come up and by night subscriptions and money totaling eight hundred dollars had been received.” He added, “ The slogan that was uttered on the spur of the moment was “Put a Hair on the Bear” and the alumni promptly invested, some subscribing a single hair at a dollar per and others underwriting patches of hair up to $100.” Keen’s follow-up In the December 1922 Alumni Monthly updated alumni on steps taken since Commencement. The article, A Bronze Bruno for Brown, stated that a general and executive committee had been formed. The former would engage alumni across the country through the various alumni associations. On November 10, the seven-member Executive Committee, chaired by Keen (his roommate, Clark was treasurer) had met to select a sculptor, determine the fundraising goal, and plan a campaign. The unanimous choice for a sculptor was Eli Harvey of New York Peter Mackie ’59 is the sports archivist for the Edward North Robinson 1896 Collection of Brown Athletics.

like to stand erect as younger bears do so easily and often. This made it difficult for me to see him in the upright pose I was modeling.” The sculptor’s clever strategy for remedying this problem: “I could induce him to stand by holding up a piece of meat and waving it in the air as though to throw it. He would slowly rise on his hind feet and make motions with his paws, expecting to receive the morsel. As long as I would keep him standing by making feints with the meat I could observe a few of the important points I was working on and do some modeling with my other hand.” Ivan did receive his rewards and the sculptor was able to entice him to stand for short periods, no more than three times each morning. Establishing the bear’s exact height happened by chance when on one occasion Ivan “stood up to scratch his shoulder against the bars between his cage and the next.” Harvey noticed that the top of the bear’s head was even with a horizontal bar, which measured eight feet from the cage floor. Eli Harvey plies Ivan with meat, with modeling tool at the ready in his left hand.
City, the country’s foremost naturalist sculptor. A goal of $10K was set, to include Harvey’s commission, purchase of copyright, casting of the piece at Gorham Manufacturing Company in Providence, the pedestal and foundation, and campaign expenses. In order to be totally inclusive, the Committee “voted to allow the undergraduates at Brown to share in the setting up of Bronze Bruno, but no undergraduate will be allowed to give more than one dollar, the subscription price of one hair.” The Committee also reinforced the raison d’être for the statue: “... a bear on the grounds will be an inspiration to the undergraduates as an actual totem for the expression of their college spirit in the four years when college spirit is most alive... We believe a magnificent brown bear will be an inspiring thing for our college youth and will help to arouse and strengthen those fighting qualities which we want our boys to have, and which will go far to make them invincible in athletics, as well as life.” Finally, the bonding power of the statue was invoked: “We are sure that the artistic Bronze Bear we are going to set up will be a centre for undergraduate gatherings. Songs and poems will grow from this theme, and tradition will make this spot a rallying ground for all those customs and celebrations which bring Brown undergraduates closer together.”
As the Bronze Bruno Committee began receiving contributions, they realized that because of the slogan, many alumni thought $1 was the suggested donation. A Committee flyer entitled ABOUT A DOLLAR stated: “There has been some considerable misapprehension as to what the Brown Bear Committee means when it says, “Put Hair on the Bear. The price of one hair is one dollar.” ...Many Brown men have subscribed one dollar to this fund, thinking that is all the Committee is asking per man.” They then suggested $10 per alumnus, and ended with: “Put Hair on the Bear” - IN PATCHES.” By Commencement 1923, the campaign had reached $5K, with 2,000 alumni contributing. Although the statue was not yet cast, a presentation ceremony was held on June 20th on the south end of the Middle Campus (College Green) where a full-size plaster model of Bruno was unveiled. The ceremony included a
Harvey and the Executive Committee had signed a contract on November 10th for the creation of an eight foot Alaskan Brown Bear on a four-inch pedestal, to be mounted on a large boulder. Harvey was to create a one-quarter scale plaster model, while the Alumni Association would retain rights for reproductions of any size. The sculptor’s total commission was $7,375. Harvey’s work began with two weeks of preliminary anatomical drawings in his studio, and then moved to the Bronx Zoological Park where he began to familiarize himself with his model, Ivan, a 17 year old Alaskan Brown Bear. In Harvey’s words Ivan was “old, shaggy, and picturesque, but he did not

Bronze Bruno was cast at Gorham on August 18th, 1923. The completed piece weighed 1,893 pounds (exclusive of the pedestal) and required 819 man-hours to complete. During the next four years Bruno languished in hibernation at Gorham, until it migrated to the new Brown Gymnasium (later named Marvel) on Elmgrove Avenue, where it was installed on the entry terrace on November 23, 1927. For 64 years, Bruno presided over the Elmgrove Avenue complex, serving as a symbol of Brown Athletics as well as being a focal point for captain’s and team photographs and opponents’ paint brushes.

Song to Bruno written by Harold Litchfield 1920, a presentation of a rock on which Roger Williams had alighted from his canoe in 1636, and an impassioned speech about the powerful symbolism of the statue and its importance for undergraduates. Meanwhile, fundraising continued. In Providence, alumni were urged to view a film at the Victory Theater which captured Eli Harvey working on the model, and to send in their checks. Funding was not the only challenge however. The statue’s placement had become a contentious issue which divided the campus. In 1976 Herbert Keen reflected that “controversy arose between us and Prexy Faunce, the faculty, etc. as to Bruno’s location as well as his symbolism. Our hopes were to place him in lair in front of Rockefeller Hall (Faunce House), mid-campus, the center of student activities since, to our conception he was not solely an athletic symbol but an artistic symbol of strength, courage and endurance...” Suggestions for location ranged from the area in front of the Van Wickle Gates to Andrews Field. An outside consultant reviewed several alternatives and recommended the Middle Campus. Ironically, students did not want it on the center of campus (at Yale, a suggestion for a campus bulldog had recently been rejected). Ultimately a decision by the Corporation Committee on the Location of the Bronze Bruno decided that “the centre of the middle campus must always remain as an open space.”
When Marvel closed in 1989, extended debate again arose as to Bruno’s role and proper location. The author attempted to introduce a new slogan, “Give the Bear a New Lair’” and to have another inclusive campaign. A Corporation Facilities and Design Committee decided on a new location, just off the College Green. Funding was provided by one individual, John Shapira ’58, P’89, P’92. At the Commencement Rededication Ceremony, May 23, 1992, Chancellor Artemis A. J. Joukowsky 1955 stated: “The placement of Bruno in the bosom of the University - in Brown’s outdoor living room, the College Green ... fulfills the legacy left to us by Theodore Francis Green, who in 1923 made the following statement: “So our Brown Bear, around which we are now gathered, is a symbol of that Brown spirit which carries its message to alumni and undergraduates alike, with various meanings. Some mistake its message as a call of good luck to an athletic team... But its message is rather to carry into all our activities those virtues shown on the athletic field and symbolized in the Brown Bear - the virtues of strength, independence and courage. May its symbol remind us of the College,” he said, “and help keep alive our love and enthusiasm for old Brown.” When you visit Bruno and read the text on the front and back of the granite base, which reflects another time, remember the passion and dedication of the alumni who made this magnificent iconic piece of Brown history possible. Herbert Keen and his Committee would be pleased to see Bruno looking out at today’s student activity on the Green.
