Holy Cross Varsity Club
The Holy Cross Varsity Club held its first official meeting in
1950, at a time when the College's athletic program was seeing the
re-formation of the Athletic Association and an Alumni Athletics
Committee. On a Sunday morning in October 1950, tennis and football
star James J. Bowman `38 was named temporary chairman of the
Varsity Club and ultimately served as the first president.
Since its formation, the Holy Cross Varsity Club has existed as an
important resource. Innumerable athletes have come into contact
with the Varsity Club directly and indirectly, and have witnessed
the impact of a committed organization created to foster support
for collegiate sports competition.
Members of the Varsity Club represent all eras of athletics at
Holy Cross. Men and women from all collegiate teams belong to the
Club. Because of this broad-based representation, the Club supports
all areas of athletics and does not restrict its assistance to a
specific team or sport.
The Club is eager to continue carrying out the mission stated in
its Constitution:
The purpose of the Club is to preserve the traditions, foster the
ideals, advance the interests and improve the quality and prestige
of Holy Cross athletics and the role of athletics in the
educational community of the College of the Holy Cross.
