Lady Godiva
At numerous engineering departments at Canadian universities, Lady Godiva is considered a mascot, sometimes called the "Patron Saint of Engineers" or "Goddess of Engineering", and is the subject of the traditional engineering drinking song "Godiva's Hymn". The University of Toronto and McMaster University hold annual "Godiva Weeks". In the past, engineering departments would sponsor a naked female (or costumed male) to ride a horse across campus. The practice has declined in recent years.

Famous quotes containing the word lady:
“She was a charming middle-aged lady with a face like a bucket of mud. I gave her a drink. She was a gal who’d take a drink if she had to knock me down to get the bottle.”
—John Paxton (1911–1985)
