Polo History

To the Editors of The Crimson:

One correction to the article by Anne E. McCabe on polo ["Polo Is Back in the Headlines," March 10]: When the women's polo team takes to the field this spring it will not be for the first time. Polo began at Radcliffe in the fall of 1927 as part of the riding program. Enthusiasm was so high among the experienced riders that an old Cadillac stopped by the dorms at 6:15 a.m. three times a week to ferry riders to Glenfield Stables in West Medford. Plans were made for a varsity team, but so far no records have turned up about intercollegiate events or matches against Harvard. Anyone who wants to find out more, is welcome to visit the Radcliffe College Archives at the Schlesinger Library. Jane S. Knowles   College Archivist
