In the context of Haverford College, a "Ford" is the nickname for a student, alumnus, or member of the college community.
It is derived from the last syllable of the college's name (Haver-ford). Much like students at Stanford are sometimes called "Cardinals" (their mascot) but often referred to as "Stanford students," those at Haverford have adopted "Fords" as their primary collective identity and the official name of their athletic teams.
(I didn't know. I had to look it up myself.)
