Roar-ee the Lion is the current incarnation of the Columbia Lion, the official mascot of Columbia University and the Columbia Lions. Already a long established symbol of the university, it was first adopted as the university's mascot in 1910 under the name "Leo Columbiae", and was renamed Roar-ee the Lion in 2005. Throughout its history, the Lion has been represented by live specimens on several occasions, including the 1934 Rose Bowl and a 1963 football game against Princeton. During the early 20th century, Matilda the Harlem Goat was an unofficial mascot for the university. Barnard College possesses its own mascot, the Barnard Bear.
