She greets you everyday on the main gates of Barnard. She dances with
you at Midnight Breakfast. She decorates your bulletin boards,
T-shirts, notebooks, flip-flops, and buildings.
She's Barnard's beloved mascot, Millie the Bear, and she represents the
"strong, beautiful Barnard woman." But some alumnae have bemoaned
seeing less of her since the Office of Communications decided to "phase
out" her role as the college's representative to alums.

You'd think they would have run a pic of the bear with the story
(you've got a lot to learn up there, kids), but the fact is that I
can't find a pic of the bear anywhere. The student store doesn't have
any Millie-related merchandise, although it sells three other kinds of
bears.
I'm wondering if this is the big deal it's supposed to be.
