In the spring of 1929, C. Brigham Allen appointed representatives from the classes of 1930, 1931, and 1932 to the first Massachusetts Institute of Technology Ring Committee. Charged with designing the first Standard Technology Ring, the committee looked to the past for inspiration.
Lester Gardner, Class of 1898, had proposed the beaver as the Institute mascot at the Technology Club of New York. On January 17, 1914, President Richard C. MacLaurin formally accepted the beaver as the mascot of the Institute. The beaver adorns the bezel while the opposing shanks “MIT” and the class year.
Each class has designed a unique ring, representative of their experiences at MIT. As the seventy-sixth ring committee, we are proud to present the 2007 Brass Rat, a ring that embodies both the tradition and individuality of the Class of 2007.
