• Photograph of the Cumberland School of Law's mascot "Rascal" in 1968. "The celebration honors a mongrel pup named Rascal. According to tradition, Rascal faithfully attended classes, beginning in 1933, at the law school’s original campus in Lebanon, Tennessee. In 1937, he was awarded the rare degree of doctor of canine jurisprudence. Legend states the diploma was awarded in recognition of the hundreds of classes and mock trials at which Rascal’s attendance had been difficult to ignore. When he passed away in 1940, Rascal was buried beneath the window of the law classroom where he had spent so much time. Each year, a procession of two- and four-legged creatures commemorates one of the law school’s most memorable graduates." Quote taken from https://www.samford.edu/cumberlandlaw/traditions
