letter dated last week
He made his first appearance in 1899 as an author of a piece in the school's then newspaper The Phoenix titled Reflections of the Skeleton. The piece appeared as an anonymous piece authored by the anatomy skeleton in the biology room. He claimed to represent the "Spirit of Emory" and has been our mascot in all things save sports since. He has the power to dismiss class, has a week named after him, and is followed around by an entourage of bodyguards and a speaker who reads his public addresses from a scroll. There is a lot of history, but thats the gist of it at least.
