Teddy to Monte: Mascots of The University of Montana

Long before Monte, Teddy was the first official mascot of the University of Montana-Missoula. Over time, a total of nine live bear mascots and two costumed mascots have represented UM. This exhibit tells the story of those bears through photographs, news stories and university publications.
