FUN FACT
In 1947, University of Oregon athletic director Leo Harris met Disney and reached an informal handshake agreement that granted the University of Oregon permission to use Donald as its sports mascot, naming him Donald Duck. It's the ONLY mascot ever licensed by Disney. He is now known simply as, The Duck.
