Did you know that there are 13 spouts on the Berger Memorial Fountain on the west side of Old Main? Did you know that the number 13 was chosen to represent the 13 UA students that were killed in service during World War I? The Bobcats is a senior honorary that was formed after the war with 13 seniors to protect the heritage and traditions of the university. Gifts to the Bobcat endowment help support this student experience which pledges “Eternal Vigilance” to the university. A Bobcat’s experience only begins as a senior and is carried on through a lifelong dedication to the support and advancement of the UA.
