Meet Vanderbilt's Mr C.

Meet Mr. C, the Vanderbilt Commodore

Never will you have a more well-mannered, prim and proper leader than Mr. Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. Here, here.

As a military man, Mr. C makes sure to protect his Vanderbilt faithful from all wrongdoers. Never will you catch Mr. C without his naval officer uniform complete with chops, cutlass, and 19^th century naval regalia. He is a truly an officer and a gentleman..

Though he follows a strict code of behavior as a military man, Mr. C still sees himself as a man of the people. He loves shaking hands as he patrols the sidelines, making sure all Vanderbilt followers are up and cheering.

Mr. C’s Experience

There is nothing these 20^th century mascots can try that Mr. C hasn’t seen.  A vote for Mr. C is a vote for experience.

Mr. C remembers when the United States was only 38 states, but even with his old age, Mr. C manages to be wise beyond his years.

Mr. C’s Leadership Abilities

Mr. C salutes and respects everyone, but he is a born leader. Watch him as he leads the Vanderbilt team to victory. Who better than a Commodore to lead you? And for those who don’t know, a Commodore outranks a Captain in the military, so Mr. C isn’t one to be taken lightly.

What Sets Mr. C Apart From the Rest?

Contrary to rumor, Mr. C was never part of a soul group in the 1970s, and he doesn’t even know Lionel Richie. If anything sets him apart from the other mascots, it’s his black and gold smooth attire.  It was classic in the 1880’s, and it’s still in today—timeless fashion for a timeless mascot.

Mr. C's Campaign Promise

Mr. C promises to teach proper etiquette to anyone who needs it. From saluting properly to which fork to use to eat your salad, Mr. C knows it all.

Mr. C: A hearty handshake and proper salute for every vote.
