This might the strangest mascot in all of college athletics, a sort-of mythical good-­luck figure who represents "things as they ought to be". Name this Midwestern University's mascot.

The origin of the Saint Louis University Billiken has many different stories attached to it, but everyone can agree that Florence Pretz, an art teacher and illustrator from Missouri, patented her Billiken design in 1908, and more than 110 years later it's alive and well on the sidelines of St. Louis sporting events.
