HISTORY & TRADITIONS

CAM THE RAM

CAM's name stands for "Colorado Agriculture and Mechanical" College (the University's formal name)

I LOVE CSU DAY HISTORY IN COLOR

Being a Ram here at CSU means dressing in green and gold for game day, but

CSU’s colors used to be pumpkin orange and alfalfa green back when the University’s students were the Aggies.

On April 18, students at CSU celebrate their University with a “green out.” Games and events are held on the Lory Student Center Plaza and the governor of Colorado signs a pro clamation declaring April 18 I Love CSU Day across Colorado!

FIGHT SONG

Fight on you stalwart Ram Team, On to the goal! Tear the (Opponent’s) line asunder, As down the field we thunder. Knights of the green and gold, Fight with all your might! Fight on you stalwart Ram Team, Fight! x3

ALMA MATER

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Colorado State. Memories are everlasting of this place so great! May thy Green and Gold unite us, loyal ever be. Colorado State, our Alma Mater, Hail, all hail, to thee.

THE OVAL

The Oval was designed in 1909 as a way to connect the main campus buildings. Surrounding the Oval are historic buildings including Johnson Hall, which was the original student center, and the Music Building, which was a library. It remains the heart of CSU and a favorite of all.
