http://dbpedia.org/resource/Roar-ee_the_Lion
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.

Pale wraith of happier days, who sadly stand
Amid the relics of the simple life,
Apartment houses grace the rolling land
Where goatherds tootled on the horn and fife.
Where are they friends of Harlem's early days
Who once cavorted pungent on the green?
Thy Dionysian revels once did craze
Where now Apollo's coryphées are seen.
The strains of thy wild goat now are stilled,
The football chant resounds upon the heights
Where once your overflowing joy you spilled,
Wild youth cavorts on Springtime's balmy nights.
Soon may thy tattered hide be laid to rest
Among the bleating legions of the blest.
