Info
the universityThe University of South Carolina is home to more than 200 years of history and tradition, rising from a single building in 1805 on what would become the heart of the campus, the Horseshoe.
Today, the 11 buildings that make up the Horseshoe frame a lush lawn that is an irresistible gathering place for students, faculty, staff and alumni and the scene of many important university events.
And while the Horseshoe will always be the symbol of Carolina’s proud tradition, the university’s presence and reach stretch across the Palmetto State, with baccalaureate universities in Aiken, Spartanburg (Upstate) and the sea islands (Beaufort and the gateway to Hilton Head), and two-year regional campuses in Allendale and Walterboro (Salkehatchie), Sumter, Lancaster and Union. Together, they are building economic prosperity; fulfilling the university’s mission of teaching, research and service to the state, and preparing future leaders in business, law, education, the arts, tourism, communications, medicine and the health sciences.

univerSity hiStoryIn 2001, the University celebrated the bicentennial of its charter, but 2005 also marked a watershed an-niversary: 200 years since the first classes began at South Carolina College, as it was then known. Caro-lina has endured the Civil War and Reconstruction, closings, and name changes. Permanently chartered in 1906 as the University of South Carolina, it grew throughout the 20th century and today is building its reputation as a cutting-edge research institution.

gamecock traditionsniCknaMe: the FiGhtinG GaMeCoCkSTheUniversityofSouthCarolina is theonlymajorcollegeathleticprogram in thecountry that uses “FightingGamecocks” as its official nickname andmascot. TheUniversity’sathleticteamshavebeenknownasGamecocksforalmost100years.
At the turn of the 20th century, after struggling for more than decade under numer-ous nicknames, the school’s football team was the impetus of the new moniker. In 1903,Columbia’smorningnewspaper,The State, shortened the name to one word andSouthCarolinateamshavebeenGamecockseversince.
Those early teams must have been a feisty and spirited group. A gamecock, of course, is a fighting rooster known for its spirit and courage. A cock fight, which was a popu-lar sport throughout the United States in the 19th century, would last until the death of one of the combatants. Cock fighting has been outlawed by most states for humanitar-ian reasons, but it is still held surreptitiously in many areas.
The State of South Carolina has long been closely connected with the breeding and trainingoffightinggamecocks.GeneralThomasSumter,famedguerrillafighteroftheRevolutionaryWar,wasknownas“TheFightingGamecock.”
SChool ColorSGarnetandBlackwereadoptedneartheturnofthecenturyastheofficialcolorsoftheUniversity of South Carolina athletic teams. The colors are the dominant ones on the gamecock, which is the University’s official mascot for its athletic teams.
the South Carolina MaSCotThe Gamecock mascot, “Cocky,” is afamiliar sight at a variety of South Caro-lina athletic events. He appears at all home and road football and basketball games, and at home baseball games. In addition he can be found frequent-ing other Olympic sports events on the USC campus.
CockywaschosenNationalMascotofthe Year in 1986, 1994, and again in2004 and is recognized as one of themost colorful mascots in collegiate athletics.
In1981,and1982,theGamecockspar-ticipated in the College Baseball World Series and “Cocky”was selectedbothyears as the official mascot of the CWS.
