The beaver was chosen as MIT’s mascot because of its engineering and mechanical skills and in 1955 the Alumni Association established the Bronze Beaver award. The Bronze Beaver is given every year in recognition of distinguished service to the Institute and/or its Association of Alumni and Alumnae. Here is your chance to see a snapshot of life during the 1950s at MIT and to see why awards like the Bronze Beaver were created. Come investigate documents, photographs, and other archival materials, held by the Institute Archives and Special Collections, to learn about how national events affected life at MIT and, conversely, how the students and faculty at MIT shaped the 1950s.
