The Hall of Fame Dinner, which is held at the Harvard Club of Boston every May, brings together former Harvard ath- letes to honor their undergraduate athletic achievements. The Varsity Club and a special Committee, appointed by the Executive Committee of the Club, oversees the Hall of Fame induction process. As Harvard offers the largest intercol- legiate athletic program in the country, it is a challenging task to evaluate athletic achievement across 41 varsity sports. Therefore, strict guidelines for induction exist. In order to be selected into the Hall of Fame, all athletes must meet the following requirements:

1. has been a graduate of the college for at least 15 years 2. excelled for multiple years in a sport while an undergraduate at Harvard 3. achieved greatness in a sport at the time when competing at Harvard

In total, over 400 athletes from most Harvard’s 41 varsity teams have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. To browse the inductees by sport and year of induction, please visit www.harvardvarsityclub.org. If you would like to nominate some- one for induction to the Hall of Fame, please mail your letter of recommendation to the Harvard Varsity Club, 65 North Harvard St., Boston, MA 02163 or email it to [email protected].
