Maudine Ormsby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the fall of 1926, Maudine Ormsby was elected Homecoming Queen for The Ohio State University. Nominated by the OSU College of Agriculture, Ormsby was not enrolled as a student, but won the election when other candidates were disqualified due to election irregularities, however it was the utterly unique Queen that was the greatest irregularity; Maudine Ormsby was a Holstein cow.

Maudine Ormsby was crowned Queen and viewed her subjects as part of the homecoming parade. According to OSU, however, Maudine Ormsby did not attend the dance held in her honor.
