St. Cloud State Traditions: History of the Nickname

The Husky Nickname: St. Cloud State’s nickname has gone through several changes over the years. Early nicknames included “Normals,” “Teachers,” “Bear Cats,” “Peds,” and “Flying Clouds.” There are several theories about how the nickname “Huskies” began to be used. One says that it is a result of a student contest. Another suggests that the name originated with the football team. There was a story in the February 4, 1938, edition of the College Chronicle which referred to the “football huskies.” Since huskies was not capitalized in the story, the author could have been referring to the team’s size, and this possibly led to the nickname. Another theory is that the nickname originated within the football team. “I think it occurred during Coach Kasch’s days as football coach (1935-42),” said John Weisman, former SCSU Dean of Men and former coach. “The team just started calling themselves the “Huskies.” Why the name was chosen or who exactly selected it remains unclear. The name could have been intended to mean “burly, robust or large,” “one that is husky,” or “a heavily coated working dog of the arctic region.” Perhaps the nickname was meant to encompass all three meanings. Regardless of its origin, the Husky nickname continues to represent SCSU as a symbol and image of strength.

The St. Cloud State Rouser

Oh, here we are, the gang and all, to cheer our team to victory. SCSU has heard the call, We’re here to show our loyalty, RAH! RAH! Come on team fight, We’ll win this game, and to our colors we’ll be true. We’ll sing our song, both loud and long, to victory — S.C.S.U.

The St. Cloud State Hymn

Sing to thee our Alma Mater, High on oakcrowned banks, Emblem of our search for knowledge, Symbol of our youthful ranks, Filled with fires of true ambition, Let us ever be; Loyal to thy fine tradition, Hail St. Cloud, to thee. By the river’s flowing water, By its islands fair, may the loyal sons and daughters, thy enduring friendship share. May they with sincere ambition, through the years e’er be; Loyal to thy fine tradition, Hail St. Cloud, to thee.

THE GRANITE CITY . . .

The city of St. Cloud, home to St. Cloud State University, is located in the heart Minnesota’s scenic Central Lakes Region along the wooded banks of the Mississippi and Sauk Rivers -- 65 miles northwest of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. St. Cloud serves as the commercial and business hub for over 160,000 people and three counties. The area is at the center of one of Minnesota's fastest growing metropolitan area. Incorporated in 1856, St. Cloud served as a stop on the famed Red River Trail. The city’s location on the Mississippi River, helped St. Cloud grow as a center for the lumber industry. Another local resource closely identified with the region is granite. The first granite in the area was quarried in 1869, and the industry rapidly helped St. Cloud gain the nickname “Granite City.” In addition to a strong economic environment, St. Cloud offers very ample and diverse opportunities in education, recreation and the arts. Some of those highlights include nearby access to top-notch fishing, camping and hunting; renowned international gardens (across the river from campus); a lively downtown retail and entertainment district and great shopping at the region’s largest mall - Crossroads Center and along the city’s Division Street. The St. Cloud metropolitan area is comprised of the three counties of Stearns, Benton and Sherburne, and is the political, cultural, commercial, and manufacturing center for all of central Minnesota.  Access to St. Cloud is easy, with the city served daily by bus (Greyhound) and train (Amtrak). The St. Cloud Airport offers service for private planes, while a bus link to the Northstar commuter rail in nearby Big Lake began regular daily service in 2010.

THE CITIES . . .

SCSU students also benefit from the University’s location, which is approximately one hour northwest of the Twin Cities (an easy drive from campus). One of the nation’s great metropolitan areas, Minneapolis-St. Paul offers a bounty of cultural and entertainment opportunities. The Cities are home to world-class museums, theaters, restaurants and one of the largest shopping malls in the world (Mall of America). Sports fans are also in heaven as Minneapolis-St. Paul is home to the Twins (MLB), The Wild (NHL), Timberwolves (NBA), Lynx (WNBA) and Vikings (NFL).

ST. CLOUD STATE FACILITIES

FIRST CLASS PROGRAMS...FIRST CLASS FACILITIES St. Cloud State University’s tradition of excellence in athletics is mirrored by the many outstanding athletic facilities that are featured on the SCSU campus. The majority of SCSU’s home sporting events take place at the following locations on campus: Halenbeck Hall, Husky Stadium, Selke Field, Dick Putz Field, and the National Hockey Center.

HISTORIC SELKE FIELD: Selke Field is the home to Husky softball,

which placed third in the nation in 2004. The softball diamond is located in the southeast corner of the Selke Field athletic complex. Bleachers and two dugouts complete the playing area.

The field overlooks the scenic Mississippi River and features a state-of-the-art synthetic playing surface along with lights for night play. In the winter months, the field is covered with an inflatable bubble that provides an outstanding practice space for many of the SCSU athletic teams and SCSU’s recreation sports programs. Other features of the facility include a press box, President’s Suite, concession stands, ticket booths and bathroom facilities. The stadium is connected to Halenbeck Hall by a new student recreation facility that features a massive fitness center, climbing walls, classrooms, dance studios, snack bar, office space and storage locations.

A new surface was installed in the Halenbeck South Fieldhouse during the summer of 2006. The facility also houses six regulation size racquetball courts, a wrestling practice room, intramural offices, climbing wall and a human performance laboratory. To the east of Halenbeck and Halenbeck South are outdoor tennis courts.
