Auburn University.

^No. Auburn Univerity is wrong. The first private University to use a Tiger as a mascot was Princeton Univeristy. The first public institution of higher learning to use the Tiger was University of Missouri - Columbia aka Mizzou.

Overall, Princeton has been using their big cat mascot longer than the others. As far as current major athletics programs are concerned, Mizzou would be the "original"...sorry Auburn and LSU fans. ;)
