However, I can clear up the question about the UVM nickname. The University of Vermont, when it was founded in 1791, was called by its latin name "Universitas Virdis Mountis." Meaning - University of the Green Mountains. That is what the mountain range in the state is referred to. UVM always stayed as the nickname.
