New Balance X Ivy League: H710

Ivy League

is the name generally applied to

eight universities:

• Brown
• Columbia
• Cornell
• Dartmouth
• Harvard
• Pennsylvania
• Princeton
• Yale

 

that over the years

have had common interests in

scholarship as well as in athletics.

 

Stanley Woodward,

New York Herald Tribune sports writer,

coined the phrase in the early thirties.

 

In 1936

the undergraduate newspapers of these universities

simultaneously ran an editorial

advocating the formation of

an “Ivy League”

 

but the first move toward this end

was not taken until 1945.

In that year,

the eight presidents entered

into an agreement

“for the purpose of reaffirming their intention of

continuing intercollegiate football

in such a way as to maintain

the values of the game,

while keeping it in fitting proportion

to the main purposes of academic life.”'
