This 11-year-old story pointed out that many filters were blocking the word "beaver," preventing prospective students and their parents from getting information on the school. One freshman woman told the newspaper that her friends back home laugh at the name, but "they always want me to get them a Beaver College T-shirt." (The name was eventually changed.)
What's so funny about an educated beaver?

There are clothing stores that still sell "vintage" Beaver College tees. They're usually sold in the men's department. However, I saw a lesbian wearing one a few days ago.

I preferred the alternative: "Poon State".
