Daniel Carter - Marquette University High

Daniel Carter is a running back from Marquette University High in Wisconsin. A very good all-purpose back, Daniel is equally adept running the ball or making catches out of the backfield. He rushed for over 1000 yards on the season, including a school record 330 yards in a single game. Whoa! With the graduation of our own multi-purpose back, Carson Dunn, Carter is a great get for us. Can't wait to see what he can do in the Scarlet and Black next fall!

The Honor G

The Honor G, the official emblem of Grinnell College athletics, was first used at the Iowa state track championship in 1892. Designed by Earnest "Skip" Atherton, class of 1895, the original Honor G consisted of a scarlet maltese cross with a black "I and "C" (for Iowa College) superimposed on the cross. Two years later in 1894, the "I" and "C" were replaced by a black gothic "G", and the modern day Honor G was born. The gothic "G", which was also used on letter sweaters and is now used on letter jackets, was replaced by an Old English "G" in the mid-1930's. After some protest, it was quickly changed back to the gothic "G", and it has remained unchanged since that time.
