Harvard Boxing Club

The Harvard Boxing Club is a student organization at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
==History==

Boxing has been a popular campus activity since the late 19th century.〔('99 Fathers and Sons Attend Boxing | News | The Harvard Crimson )〕 In the intramural tournament of 1879, future President Theodore Roosevelt faced C.S. Hanks in the lightweight championship and lost, after a controversial late-hit by Hanks. According to historian Edmund Morris, the crowd started booing Hanks prompting Roosevelt to put up his hands and shout “It's alright, he didn’t hear (bell )”. When Roosevelt campaigned for the Presidency, his supporters would frequently recall this anecdote as an early example of his extraordinary character.〔Edmund Morris. The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. New York: Random House, 1979.〕
Boxing became an official varsity sport in 1922, as per recommendation of the Harvard Athletic Committee, and Harvard boxers performed well against their Ivy League opponents (amassing a 25:11:4 record from 1930 to 1937).〔(John Harvard's Journal - Sports: Ringside since 1920 )〕 The team expanded during World War II, when all undergraduates were required to participate in intercollegiate boxing training as a way of improving wartime fitness.
In 1961, the NCAA decided to discontinue boxing as an intercollegiate sport and the Harvard Boxing Team was replaced by the Harvard Boxing Club.〔(Ban Stops Boxing Club From Africa Fundraiser | News | The Harvard Crimson )〕 Intramural tournaments continued until 1976 when Harvard banned them due to riotous crowd attendance, leaving the Harvard Boxing Club (in its current form) as the last remnant of the college’s proud boxing tradition.〔(HLS: News: Harvard Law Today - May 2003 )〕
