Bedlam!by Drew Edmondson
First off, it is wrong.
An entire football tradition, the annual battle between Oklahoma State University at Stillwater and the University of Oklahoma in Norman, has been named for a mispronunciation.
There are two primary definitions of “Bedlam”. The first and most common is “a scene of uproar and confusion.” This, too, is based on a mispronunciation but it accurately describes most, if not all, OU vs OSU games.
The other definition, “archaic: an institution for the care of mentally ill people”, gives us the source of that mispronunciation.
Bedlam is commonly thought to refer to a specific and storied institution for the housing and treatment of the mentally ill in London, England, but the institution was never named “Bedlam”. It was Bethlehem Royal Hospital, also knows as St. Mary of Bethlehem. READ MORE
