The Tiger (mascot)

The Tiger is the mascot of the Clemson Tigers, the athletic teams of Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. The anthropomorphized tiger is costumed in Acrylic/polyester fur, and in recent years wears a football, basketball, or baseball jersey or a T-shirt. The Tiger has a smaller companion, The Cub, who wears shorts, oversized sneakers, and a jersey numbered ¹⁄₂.

History

Clemson's athletic teams have been nicknamed the Tigers since 1896, when coach (and later university president) Walter Merritt Riggs brought the name from his alma mater, Auburn University. The school's first costumed mascot was the Southern Gentleman, a student dressed in a purple formal suit with a top hat and cane. The name came from a Greenville News editor's nickname for Clemson students, and was discontinued in 1972. The first costumed tiger mascot appeared in 1954. A smaller, ostensibly younger, companion named The Cub was introduced in 1993.

In 2014, CBSSports.com named The Tiger #4 on its list of ten scariest college football mascots.

The Tiger (political magazine)

The Tiger was a political magazine which was initiated by Chinese intellectuals Zhang Shizhao and Chen Duxiu and was in circulation between 1914 and 1915.

The magazine began as the effort of Zhang Shizhao to create his own publication in the wake of his departure from The People's Stand, then the official publication of the Guomindang. Originally called Independence Weekly, Zhang set out to establish his new journal as politically moderate and without his former connection to the Guomindang. Shortly after, he recruited as editor his contemporary, Chen Duxiu, who was of similar political ideology.

The vast majority of each issue of The Tiger was "lengthy, logically argued, academic-style essays on government" These essays often treated Western liberalism or the state's relation to its people. Nevertheless, a given issue also allowed space for other inclusions like current events, essays in translation, and the occasional work of literature. Operation of the magazine continued, with several months of interruption, from May 1914 until October 1915, producing a total of ten issues. The majority of the writings were done in classical Chinese prose, greatly limiting exposure to the Chinese public at large. Nevertheless, The Tiger was a very influential political journal during its span of print.

An American Tail

An American Tail is a 1986 American animated musical adventure film directed by Don Bluth and produced by Sullivan Bluth Studios and Amblin Entertainment. It tells the story of Fievel Mousekewitz and his family as they immigrate from Russia to the United States for freedom. However, he gets lost and must find a way to reunite with them. Steven Spielberg's first foray into animation and his first with Bluth, it was released on November 21, 1986 to positive reviews and was a box office hit, making it the highest-grossing non-Disney animated film at the time. The success of it, The Land Before Time, and Disney's Who Framed Roger Rabbit, as well as Bluth's departure from their partnership, prompted Spielberg to establish his own animation studio, Amblimation, which would later become DreamWorks Animation, which he cofounded with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen.

Plot

In 1885, Shostka, Russia, the Mousekewitzes—a Russian-Jewish family of mice—who live with a human family named Moskowitz are having a celebration of Hanukkah where Papa gives his hat to his son, Fievel, and tells of a wonderful place called America, where there are no cats. The celebration is interrupted when a battery of Cossacks ride through the village square in an arson attack and their cats likewise attack the village mice.
