Why are there black squirrels on campus?
In February 1961, ten rare black squirrels (also known as London Black Squirrels, from London, Ontario) were imported from Canada by Larry Woodell, superintendent of grounds, and M.W. Staples, a retired executive of the Davey Tree Expert Company, and the squirrels have occupied the campus ever since. In addition to Kent, black squirrel sightings have been reported throughout northeast Ohio and other parts of the state.
