Bloody Monday (Harvard)
"Bloody Monday" is about an annual Harvard football tradition.
“Bloody Monday,” as it came to be known, was a tradition at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, dating back to the 1700’s. In an open field known as “the Delta,” where currently stands Memorial Hall, sophomores and freshmen would meet annually on the first Monday of the school year and engage in a free-for-all wrestling match. Sometime in the 1800’s, a ball was added and would be placed between the two groups and each would try to move across the opposing side’s goal line. This game was a precursor to the intercollegiate football that would soon after take hold of the Ivy League. In 1925, with the game well established in the college community, the Harvard Crimson paper still referred to this annual tradition as a “football match.”<br>
Much like the first football games played at universities such as Rutgers, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, there were not many rules, if any at all. The event always devolved into a massive fight between the competing students, with injuries, torn clothing, and even arrests being the norm. In 1903, a reporter from the New York Times noted that “black eyes and bruises were seen everywhere, and everyone received a liberal smudge of mother earth.” In what is considered the first recorded account of a Harvard football game, James C. Richmond, in 1827 wrote a poem entitled “The Battle of the Delta.”
<br>
The Freshmen’s wrath, to Sophs the direful spring
Of shins unnumbered bruised, great goddess sing;
Let fire and music in my song be mated,
Pure fire and music unsophisticated.
Through warlike crowds a devious way it wins,
And advancing shins meet advancing shins;
Across the rampart many a hero bounds;
But sing Apollo! In can sing no more,
For Mars advancing threw the dust before.<br>
