     The [[Assyria]]n came down like the wolf on the fold,
     And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
     And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
     When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep [[Sea of Galilee|Galilee]].

Additionally, the university has also hosted a long line of Alaskan Malamutes as mascots.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Washington Huskies |url=https://gohuskies.com/sports/2013/4/18/208229209.aspx |access-date=February 18, 2021 |website=Washington Huskies |language=en |archive-date=May 14, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210514123538/https://gohuskies.com/sports/2013/4/18/208229209.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>
