The late President Richard Maclaurin formally accepted the proposal, and at this dinner a group of beavers shown in natural surroundings was presented to the Institute. Lester Gardner, a member of the Class of 1898, provided the following justification: "The beaver not only typifies the Tech, but his habits are particularly our own. The beaver is noted for his engineering and mechanical skills and habits of industry. His habits are nocturnal. He does his best work in the dark."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p><p>The beaver has since been nicknamed <a href="/facts/Tim_the_Beaver/yohKVFVR">Tim the Beaver</a>, Tim being <a href="/facts/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology/Xk49vNA8">MIT</a> spelled backwards. </p> <h2 id="nickname-and-song">Nickname and song</h2> <p>The initial MIT football team was nicknamed the Techmen.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> After being discontinued in 1901 and self-reinstated by a group of students in 1978, the team called themselves the Engineers, which then become tradition until now.
