Nickname
Beavers - In the early days of the institution, Oregon State University's athletic teams were known as the Aggies. When orange uniforms replaced the drab sweatshirt gray and tan jerseys, the teams were referred to as the Orangemen.

In 1916 the school yearbook was renamed "The Beaver" and the name Beaver became associated with the school. It is believed the press also had some influence in changing the name, particularly L.H. Gregory of The Oregonian newspaper. The name gained instant popularity among alumni and students.

The Beaver is the state's official animal.
