The name ?Ursinus? (pronounced er-sigh-nus) is a Latin version of ?Bear.?
Ursinus was founded in 1869 and named for a 16th century reformer, teacher and thinker. Zacharias Baer (1534-83), took a Latin version of his German name and became known as Zacharias Ursinus.
Zack, as he is called on campus, was a theologian and scholar at the University of Heidelberg. His egalitarian and unpretentious spirit still exists on campus today.
