WHY WE'RE EXPLORERS Sue Senner Salle University's nickname — The Explorers — was erroneously bestowed by a La Athletic Communications sports writer covering a La Salle football game (La Salle played intercollegiate Assistant football from 1931-41) on campus sometime during the '30s. He thought that the school was named after the famed French explorer of North America. In reality, the school was named after St. John Baptist de La Salle, the French educator and founder of the Christian Brothers. Despite the error, the nickname has remained.
