Nickname
Rams - In the 1890's, the sports cheer of the Fordham men was "One-Dam, Two-Dam, Three-Dam, Fordham!" This was brought to the attention of the Jesuit fathers and the word "dam" was changed to "ram". In 1906 J. Ignatius Coveny composed "The Fordham Ram" and the official name of the sports teams was changed from "The Rose Hills" to "The Rams."
