Climax State is a proud R1 university of 48,000 students. It is not, and has never been, a “mattress factory.”
The Dean of Students reminds Cougars traveling for Horn Week that bronze statues belonging to other institutions are not art projects.
Come for the value. Stay for the community. Leave with a degree.
Since 1904, Climax State and Hornell University have played for a ram's horn mounted on a gold-plated base. The game is played the Saturday before Thanksgiving and alternates campuses.
Climax State does not endorse any chant, slogan, banner or T-shirt referencing our name, including but not limited to the one that has been banned from stadium screens since 2011.
Go Cougars. Stay purple.
