Get Out and Vote!

Coach Hollibaugh says "You better go vote, dangit!"

The Grinnell Pioneers want to remind you to get out and vote today!

Clayton Desjardin says, "You already voted? Yes!!"

At least one former Pioneer is running for office. Clinton Follette '11 is running for Poweshiek County Attorney, and whether you vote for him or not, he wants you to make your voice heard.


Clinton Follette says "Get out and vote or I'm coming for you!"

Do your part today, and have a great Tuesday!

WR Greg Ruzich says "I'll vote twice if you'll let me!"

The Honor G

The Honor G, the official emblem of Grinnell College athletics, was first used at the Iowa state track championship in 1892. Designed by Earnest "Skip" Atherton, class of 1895, the original Honor G consisted of a scarlet maltese cross with a black "I and "C" (for Iowa College) superimposed on the cross. Two years later in 1894, the "I" and "C" were replaced by a black gothic "G", and the modern day Honor G was born. The gothic "G", which was also used on letter sweaters and is now used on letter jackets, was replaced by an Old English "G" in the mid-1930's. After some protest, it was quickly changed back to the gothic "G", and it has remained unchanged since that time.
