Back in 2006, the University of Maryland celebrated its 150th anniversary. Maryland Day, a special Saturday in late April, was bigger than ever. Besides the special festivities on the day of celebration, the university planned to unveil a parade of Testudo statues across the campus and in a few additional locations across the state. Each of the statues were sponsored by an organization and turned into a themed presentation of important characteristics of the school. There were 50 statues in total. I have a selection of theme posted below to give a sense of the awesomeness that was the Testudo Statue campaign.

The Musings of Danger Dan 
Danger Dan, I would like to use these some of these Testudo photos for a University of Maryland-affiliated site. Please get back to me for details.
Sure thing. I was able to find this pics online back when the 150-year celebration took place and ended up eventually deciding to post them myself. If you wouldn’t mind letting me know what you are using them for, I would be happy to help.
We are implementing a recruitment software for Greek life and were going to use 4 of the Testudos to indicate different types of users.
