Ivy League

Japanese: アイビー・リーグ(英語表記)Ivy League
Ivy League
The Ivy League is a group of eight private universities in the eastern United States, consisting of Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale. It originally began as a football league that was informally formed in 1900. The word "Ivy" means "ivy," and it is said that the name was derived from the fact that these universities have long traditions and historic school buildings covered in ivy, or that the league was originally formed by four universities, and was written in Roman numerals as the IV League.

アメリカ合衆国東部にある8校の私立大学群をいい,ブラウン,コロンビア,コーネル,ダートマス,ハーバード,ペンシルベニア,プリンストン,イェールの諸大学から成る。もとは1900年に非公式に結成されたフットボール競技のリーグ戦からはじまった。アイビーとは〈ツタ〉のことで,これらの大学が伝統も古く,ツタのからまる由緒ある校舎をもっていることから,この名称が出たとも,最初は4大学でリーグが結成され,ローマ数字でIVリーグと書かれたからともいわれる。
