That giant bronze tiger sitting at Green and Academy streets since March finally has a name. Brenau University’s statue was officially christened Friday as “Lucile,” a popular choice out of around 350 submissions in the college’s “Name That Tiger” contest it held earlier in the year. “We looked at a lot of different names,” Brenau President Ed Schrader said.
