Named

At my college, the students were informally known as Jaspers, after, I think, a beloved teacher early in the school's history. The school was all-male at the time, though when I went, both sexes were allowed. Both were known as Jaspers.

A friend went to the Stevens Institute of Technology, also all male, and their students were known as Techs. Once women were allowed in, the question arose: what to call them?

The winning answer was:

Co-Techs.

  1. ONE Woman was allowed in? Thank God that ridiculousness is over.

  3. I have no idea if it's still in use, though.
