• City College of New York-City University of New York (New York, New York)

It appears that the official athletic nickname for MIT is "Engineers" (which it shares with four other schools) -- though its animal mascot is, indeed, the beaver. Compare and contrast with Stanford, which changed its nickname from "Indians" to "Cardinal" -- not the bird, but the color, and has an unofficial mascot, the Stanford Tree.
