Alfred University is a private university in Alfred, New York, United States.
Alfred University's athletic teams became known as The Saxons in 1929, but did not institute an official mascot when the moniker was selected.
In 1940, two Kappa Psi Upsilon brothers, James Lippke and Walter Lawrence, developed a character named Lil Alf to be used on their fraternity house's signs during football games. In his original design, Lil Alf was a knight in shining armor, simplified to a small cartoonish form in a 1948 redesign.
Lil Alf was not formally adopted as a campus mascot, with many sports teams complaining that he was "too cute and not fierce enough."
