The origin of the name "Ivy"

The Ivy League originated in the 1950s. As early as the end of 19 th century, there were social and sports competitions, and 1956 had the idea of an alliance school. When formulating the rules of sports competition, each school further formulated an Ivy League school rule, elected the president, sports director and some administrative directors of the league school, and held regular meetings to discuss the enrollment, finance, funding, administration and other related issues between the schools.

There were only four universities in the early Ivy League: Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton. The Roman numeral 4 is "IV", and the suffix Y becomes "IVY", which means Ivy in English, so it is also called an Ivy League school. Later, the alliance of these four universities expanded to eight and became a prestigious Ivy League school.
