Calvin Iwanicki, owner of the late unofficial mascot Rhett the Boston Terrier, has introduced a new Terrier named R2, meaning Rhett the Second, to Boston University's campus.
The BU alumnus who created a petition to change the name of the school’s mascot, Rhett, was invited to serve on the committee to consider the matter. After a correspondence with President Robert Brown, during which the alum refused to take down his petition, he was denied a seat.
