University spirit

A person can have a spirit. But could a university have a spirit too? For example, Harvard is dedicated to producing business leaders. Chicago is dedicated to researching. Could I use "spirit" to describe distinct style of each university?

  

Top answer

The word "spirit" is typically not used like this, either for a person or a university. You'd more likely hear, for example: He has a reputation as a top researcher. The University of Chicago has a reputation for top notch research.
