History of Fairfield University Athletic Programs The Fairfield Stags are the athletic programs representing Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut. Most of the programs are members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) and classified as Division I-AAA in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. As of 2012, Fairfield sponsors 20 varsity sports - baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's crew, men's and women's cross country, field hockey, men's and women's golf, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's tennis, and women's volleyball. In addition, there is a long standing tradition of club and intramural sports at Fairfield University, including the Rugby Club which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. TRADITIONS History of the Stag With the dawn of the first athletic team (cross country) in the fall of 1947, it became apparent that a nickname would be needed. For the 1947-48 season, Fairfield University adopted the "Men In Red" as its nickname. Records of the Sports Division/Athletics 1960s-1990s P a g e | 2 rev. 04-20-15 Y:\FFLD_Lib_Archives\Finding Aids - Inventories and Container Lists\Sports Division-Athletics Inventory rev. 04-20-15.doc The following year, the University introduced men's basketball as its next team and its first varsity sport. With the start of varsity sports, the school put it to the students for input in naming of a school mascot. Two recommendations were made to the Board of Trustees for an official decision and vote. As the late Fr. Charles F. Duffy S.J. recounted: "As a member of the Board of Trustees, I remember voting at a board meeting late in 1948 on the naming for our athletic teams. We voted for Stags over Chanticleers!" What made the decision for the Board a bit easier and logical was the fact that the school was part of the Dioceses of Hartford and the word Hartford means stags (hart) and stream (ford). According to Webster's New World Dictionary the word "hart" means "A male of the European red deer; stag." As for the world "ford" Webster describes it as "A shallow place in a stream, river, etc." As a result, Fairfield University's seal itself was designed featuring a deer leaping over a tumbling brook to represent both the school's connection with the Dioceses as well with its close ties with nature. Fairfield is situated on a rolling, immensely wooded 200-acre (0.81 km2) campus overlooking Long Island Sound. The name fits well as a nickname because the Stag is a good jumper and it spirited and agile, as Fairfield would like all of its student-athletes to be. FIGHT SONGS "The Fairfield University Fight Song" Written by Prof. Brian Q. Torff during the 1995-96 academic year for a contest sponsored by the Fairfield University Student Association. Come catch the spirit, Fairfield U. For all to hear it, Fairfield U. Red and White will always conquer, Go for the winner 'till the end, and so we’ll Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight for Fairfield U., Each day and night our hearts will be true, And all across the land we'll always stand by Fairfield U. And all across the land we'll always stand by Fairfield U!

The men in Red will always fight for Fairfield. The men in Red will fight tonight for Fairfield. We'll stick out our chin, and we'll wind up with win, with a grin. The men in Red will raise a shout for Fairfield. The men in Red will go all out for Fairfield, As we go on rolling up the score for dear old Fairfield ever more.

History of Fairfield University Athletic Programs The Fairfield Stags are the athletic programs representing Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut. Most of the programs are members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) and classified as Division I-AAA in the National Collegiate Athletic Association. As of 2012, Fairfield sponsors 20 varsity sports - baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's crew, men's and women's cross country, field hockey, men's and women's golf, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's tennis, and women's volleyball. In addition, there is a long standing tradition of club and intramural sports at Fairfield University, including the Rugby Club which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. TRADITIONS History of the Stag With the dawn of the first athletic team (cross country) in the fall of 1947, it became apparent that a nickname would be needed. For the 1947-48 season, Fairfield University adopted the "Men In Red" as its nickname. Records of the Sports Division/Athletics 1960s-1990s P a g e | 2 rev. 04-20-15 Y:\FFLD_Lib_Archives\Finding Aids - Inventories and Container Lists\Sports Division-Athletics Inventory rev. 04-20-15.doc The following year, the University introduced men's basketball as its next team and its first varsity sport. With the start of varsity sports, the school put it to the students for input in naming of a school mascot. Two recommendations were made to the Board of Trustees for an official decision and vote. As the late Fr. Charles F. Duffy S.J. recounted: "As a member of the Board of Trustees, I remember voting at a board meeting late in 1948 on the naming for our athletic teams. We voted for Stags over Chanticleers!" What made the decision for the Board a bit easier and logical was the fact that the school was part of the Dioceses of Hartford and the word Hartford means stags (hart) and stream (ford). According to Webster's New World Dictionary the word "hart" means "A male of the European red deer; stag." As for the world "ford" Webster describes it as "A shallow place in a stream, river, etc." As a result, Fairfield University's seal itself was designed featuring a deer leaping over a tumbling brook to represent both the school's connection with the Dioceses as well with its close ties with nature. Fairfield is situated on a rolling, immensely wooded 200-acre (0.81 km2) campus overlooking Long Island Sound. The name fits well as a nickname because the Stag is a good jumper and it spirited and agile, as Fairfield would like all of its student-athletes to be. FIGHT SONGS "The Fairfield University Fight Song" Written by Prof. Brian Q. Torff during the 1995-96 academic year for a contest sponsored by the Fairfield University Student Association. Come catch the spirit, Fairfield U. For all to hear it, Fairfield U. Red and White will always conquer, Go for the winner 'till the end, and so we’ll Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight for Fairfield U., Each day and night our hearts will be true, And all across the land we'll always stand by Fairfield U. And all across the land we'll always stand by Fairfield U!
