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.
