== Foundation ==
Osler House Boat Club was founded in 1839, racing independently as a clinical medics club, before merging with Green College after its foundation in 1979. Green College was set up as a college for graduate medical students and students in related areas, and had 50% of its students involved in the medical field (clinical or academic) before its merger with Templeton college to form Green Templeton College, in 2008 http://www.gtc.ox.ac.uk/images/stories/news/gtc_history.pdf. 
In 2008, the newly formed Green Templeton college formed its own boat club , leaving Osler House once again competing as an independent entity. Osler House still maintains the BR boat code "OSG" as a nod to its history .
This independent club continued being active in collegiate racing until 2012 . Since then it has been largely dormant, bar entering one event each year to maintain affiliation to OURCs.
