Meet the Bantam, a mascot that's definitely one of a kind The Bantam is a type of small, feisty chicken that's gained a special place in the hearts of students at Trinity College and a few other schools. This cute and spirited bird was chosen as a mascot thanks to a compelling speech by Joseph Buffington back in 1899. He compared bigger colleges to large roosters, but described Trinity as a proud, little bantam that's fearless and confident, no matter the company. This mascot is all about embracing individuality and being proud of who you are, which is pretty inspiring. So, the next time you hear about the Bantams, remember they're all about being bold and unique 🐦.
