On June 5, 1890, Henry Lee Higginson presented Harvard College a gift of 31 acres (130,000 m2) of land, which he called Soldiers Field, given in honor of his friends who died in the Civil War: James Savage, Jr., Charles Russell Lowell, Edward Barry Dalton, Stephen George Perkins, James Jackson Lowell, and Robert Gould Shaw. This land later became the home of Harvard Crimson athletics.
Some of the land was used as the home for Harvard's ice hockey team from 1899 to 1904 when Harvard Stadium was built and became the home of the hockey team until the opening of the Boston Arena in 1910.
