Do you really wanna know what a gorlok is?
According to the handy-dandy Webster University Student Handbook and Calendar, the Gorlok is Webster's mascot. It is a mythical creature similar to that of a minotaur (yay Role Models) and has the face of a Saint Bernard, paws of a cheetah, and horns of a buffalo. The name came from two streets in Webster Groves: Gore and Lockwood. The creature first debuted February 9, 1988 which is also a historic day in U.S. history for it was the day yours truly was born. The Gorlok only comes out rarely...only during SOME athletic events that take place in Grant Gym...kind of like the groundhog when it's February 2nd...though the Gorlok does tend to come out a little more than that. Hoo-rah!
