| Description | Organized intercollegiate sports teams as we know them today did not exist in the early days of Western Reserve College. Although the college was founded in 1826, the first gymnasium, which was converted from an old manual labor shop, appeared in 1858. Football and baseball were relatively popular sports in the early college days with many organized games played among the classes. |
