On This Day

Competition from 1715 UK, 1760s NEng whale boats

1852 corporate sponsorship

1858/59 Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Trinity formed the College Regatta Association. In 1859, the first regatta was held on the Connecticut River before a crowd of 15-20,000, and Harvard emerged victorious.

1870 The Harvard-Yale competitions continued until 1870 when an accusation that the Harvard crew had fouled the Yale boat provoked fighting among the 15,000 spectators.

In 1869, the Harvard crew generated considerable publicity when it traveled to England to compete against Oxford on the Thames River. The race was telegraphed back by the new transatlantic cable. Although Harvard lost by six seconds, it demonstrated that American rowers could compete well against the more experienced British.

1871 ... It also inspired the formation in 1871 of the first intercollegiate athletic association in the United States, the Rowing Association of American Colleges.

1871 The original members of the Rowing Association were Harvard, Brown, Bowdoin, and Massachusetts Agriculture College (later, the University of Massachusetts). Yale, still upset over the previous year's controversy with Harvard, refused to join.
