Heh, Ok, whatever. the logo was developed in or around 1965, so whatever was in some 19th century stuff, it's not what the university used and it's not the intent of the logo to express a drunken Irishman. So you and I will have to disagree on this one.

So it only dates from 1965? It’s hardly a sacred emblem, sanctified by the mists of antiquity then is it?

So would it be a huge problem to replace the squat ugly fellow with all his negative connotations with a representation of a square-jawed Union soldier from one of the Irish regiments (the 35th Indiana?), or better yet to emphasize the school’s religious ethos Father Corby’s fine figure? To show the true proud symbolism of the Fighting Irish?

Who could possibly object to that?
