DONAHUE ROWING CENTER

The Donahue Rowing Center opened in 1992 as a center for rowing activities. It is located at the north end of Lake Quinsigam- ond in Shrewsbury, Mass. The center was constructed with a com- bination of a grant from the Massachusetts Ofﬁ ce of Environmental Affairs and private contributions, most notable of which was that of the Irving James Donahue, Jr., family for approximately 20 percent of the $1.1 million project cost. In 2002 the center was expanded by four bays thanks to a generous donation from the Donahue family and the cooperation of the Alumni Association. It is the home to a number of schools and the Quinsigamond Rowing Association. The bays in this state of the art facility allow for the housing of more than 150 boats, plus oars and other equipment.

LAKE QUINSIGAMOND

Competitive rowing teams ﬁ rst came to Lake Quinsigamond in 1857. Finding the lake ideal for such crew meets, avid rowers established boating clubs on the lake’s shores, the ﬁ rst being the Quinsigamond Boating Club. In 1952, the lake played host to the National Olympic rowing trials. Lake Quinsigamond is currently HART RECREATION CENTER considered the fourth best natural body of water for rowing in the / HOLY CROSS FIELD HOUSE world.

An exclusively undergraduate institution with contemporary architecture, state-of-the-art fa- just over 2,800 students, Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic cilities, and striking views from atop Mount St. college in New England. Founded in 1843 in Worcester, James. Academic life at Holy Cross is serious, challenging and exciting. Student-professor exchanges in the classroom, as well as in countless informal settings, are at the center of academic life at Holy Cross. With a student to faculty ratio of 11 to one, the opportunity for individual attention is readily available. Few classes exceed an enrollment of 40, and most average 19 students. Holy Cross professors are widely respected in their academic special- ties. Many have national reputations for their research and publications, creative performances, recordings and exhibitions. Almost all of the nearly 300 full- and part-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees from some of the fi nest universities here and abroad. Among the major academic facilities on campus are Dinand Li- brary (which, along with three other specialized libraries on campus, has total holdings of more than 650,000 volumes); Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery (with a regular schedule of world-class exhibitions); Brooks Concert Hall (acclaimed by performers and acoustical experts as one of the fi nest medium-sized bookstore, post offi ce, coffee lounge, cafeteria and pub); performance spaces in the region); St. Joseph Carol and Park B.

Now in its third decade as an all-sport conference combining academic and athletic excellence, the Patriot League sponsors championships in 23 men and women’s sports. Initially started as an NCAA Division I-AA football conference in 1986, the Patriot League became an all-sport conference in 1990 and includes American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy as full members, and Fordham, Georgetown and MIT as associate members. These institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation and their alumni have and continue to play leadership roles in shaping our country. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked ﬁ rst each year among all Division I conferences awarding athletic aid in the NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The league ﬁ nished at the top spot with nearly all of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 82 teams from Patriot League full-member institutions earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports.
