I also received the alumni newsletter last week, with the same contest. Such alumni newsletters are notorious for their errors, and this is a good example. Anyone who has attended RPI will know that many, if not all, of the sports are referred to as the RPI or Rensselaer Engineers. So that statement is ludicrous. Would it be nice to change the school nickname? Maybe, but it would have to be changed to something that most alumni, students, and staff agreed was better. What name would that be? I don't know, but I am not sure that a consensus will be easy to find. Dave Aiello (RPI '89) Consultant J.P.

I don't think this is true, I think football did and other sports. Any recent alum comments? The main reason seems to be that the name "Engineers" is not marketable, i.e. you can't make a cuddly doll or whatever to sell. How about a tee-shirt with a slide rule on it? :-) --------------------
