The Washington & Jefferson Presidents are the intercollegiate athletic teams for Washington & Jefferson College. The name "Presidents" refers to the two presidential namesakes of the college: George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. W&J is a member of the Presidents' Athletic Conference,[2] the Eastern College Athletic Conference,[3] and play in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in both men's and women's varsity sports.[4] During the 2005–2006 season, 34 percent of the student body played varsity-level athletics.[5]

W&J competes in 26 intercollegiate athletics at the NCAA Division III level.[6]

Entering the 2020-21 academic year, the Presidents have won 136 Presidents' Athletic Conference team championships, collectively. W&J has had 11 individual NCAA Champions, with their most recent coming in 2015 when Nick Carr won the 157-pound title at the 2015 NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships. More than 60 students have been selected as conference Most Valuable Players/Players of the Year, more than 400 students have been named First Team All-Conference, over 75 received students have received All-American honors, and W&J has had 58 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans.[7] The W&J football team has won a conference best 26 PAC Championships and has advanced to the NCAA Division III playoffs 27 times, including two trips to the NCAA Division III National Championship Game in 1992 and 1994.[7]

History[]

Early development[]

The development of sanctioned, varsity-level athletics at Washington & Jefferson College began to develop in 1883, when the student body began agitating for more formal athletic programs.[8] Many other schools had developed athletic programs by that time and advocates felt that a more formal athletic program would increase school spirit, which they felt was lacking.[9] In 1890, students formed the Athletic Association, charging the 75 members a $1 membership fee that went to fund athletics.[10] By a vote, the students selected cardinal and black to be the school colors, as the preferred scheme of navy and orange had been taken by the Western University of Pennsylvania.[10] An oil strike was discovered on the Old Fairgrounds, which helped finance the renovation of that facility into the "College Field," including the construction of a new grandstand.[11]

At the close of the 19th century, the concerns over the influence of professionalism in college sports, especially the use of itinerant student and professional football player John Brallier, caused the faculty to adopt the first eligibility requirements for student athletes.[12] Professor Edward Linton represented W&J at the initial meeting of the International Athletic Association of the United States in 1906, where the first national standards for edibility and amateurism were developed.[13] At that meeting, Linton expressed a desire for the student athlete to be "relieved of the incubus of the professional coach."[13]

Student and Faculty Athletic Committees[]

By the early 1900s, "football fever" had swept through the student body, leading the College administration to take steps to further integrate the sport into the educational framework, including the development of a new governance structure. The new Student Athletic Committee and Faculty Athletic Committees instituted a minimum 1-year residency requirement to combat transient students and created an alumni coach system, so the coaches would be more sympathetic to the educational objectives of the college.[14] In 1910, the football program was in danger of being dissolved due to crushing debt.[15] The Student Athletic Committee proposed a $1 per term student fee to fund the team, a proposal that was met with initial resistance from the student body.[15] However, team manager and beloved student solicitor Robert M. Murphy, was able to convince the students to accept the fee.[15] The Student Athletic Committee agreed to retract the residency rule, as it was blamed for contributing to losses, but instituted other student athlete requirements, including a ban on Academy students, raising entrance requirements, and creating a stringent system of recording absences.[15] However, the Faculty Athletic Committee balked, vetoing the new rules.[15]

The firings of Dr. G.H. Winchester and Dr. H.E. Wells highlighted the growing tension between athletics and academics.[16] As orchestrated by a group of alumni football supporters, the two professors were brought before a faculty committee for not having the requisite support for the athletic programs.[16] At the time, Dr. Winchester was serving in France during World War I and Wells maintained during the hearing that he did not object to athletics per se, but rather the way it was run at Washington & Jefferson.[16] The event, known nationally as the Winchester-Wells case, was investigated by the American Association of University Professors and was the profiled in Upton Sinclair's book The Goose-Step, a muckraking investigation into the state of American colleges.[16]

Athletic Council and financial reforms[]

During the Presidency of Simon Strousse Baker, the Student and Faculty Athletic Committees were heavily in debt and approaching insolvency.[17] The gate receipts for football games, the Committees' main source of income, had fallen as the team began to lag behind the larger schools it traditionally played.[17] A report in 1929 by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching showed that the W&J athletics program, like many programs at other colleges, held a large "slush fund" with donations from alumni and businessmen totaling $25,000 to $50,000 per year.[18] This "extreme case of subsidizing" funded all college expenses for football players, plus "paychecks" to top performers.[18] To alleviate this problem, President Baker proposed to wholly separate athletic funds from general College funds by creating an "Athletic Council" to take control of the athletic program.[17] The proposal was defeated, and Baker was eventually hounded from office.[17] In spite of that failure, a 1931 followup to the original Carnegie Foundation report commended W&J for creating some institutional controls, including limiting subsidization to tuition, room, and board.[18]

Baker's successor, Ralph Cooper Hutchison, himself more personally popular than Baker, was able to bring even more control to the athletic program by reducing the number of scholarships from 18 to 8 and limiting the practice of playing against powerhouse football teams.[19] Later, the athletic program was reorganized under an Athletic Director and the practice of awarding athletic scholarships was abolished.[20] In 1937, Hutchison created a whole new governing structure for athletics, the Athletic Council, which was not unlike the plan proposed by Baker a decade earlier.[21] The new Athletic Council, composed of four faculty members and six students, had responsibility for dispensing student appropriations and income from ticket sales. The Board of Trustees' own Athletic Committee would govern the hiring and payment of coaches.[21] The new system was intended to unite the intramural and intercollegiate athletics programs, reinstate faculty into athletic governance, give more responsibility to students, and to create a freshman football program.[21] D.C. Morrow, former football coach and member of the Athletic Committee dissented, advocating for a return to the scholarship model, blaming the waning alumni interest in the college on the team's poor performance.[21] However, the College's indebtedness at that time was $133,000, most of which was the result of player subsidization.[22] At that time, athletics took up half of the student activity fee.[22] In an attempt to stabilize the fiscal picture, the athletic budget was cut significantly, with freshman football and boxing discontinued.[22] The plan worked, and by the 1940s, the athletic finances were stabilized.[22] This signaled the end of the football team's games against larger schools.[22]

Athletic colors and nicknames[]

In 1890, a vote by the Athletic Association selected cardinal and black to be the school colors; the preferred scheme of orange and navy has been taken by Western University of Pennsylvania.[23][24] Since then, the phrase "Red and Black" has been used to refer to the school itself, the college newspaper (Red & Black) and the athletic teams.[24] The early athletic teams also were known as the "Jaymen," a play on the college's nickname "W&J".[24] By the 1930s, the word "Jaymen" was used to refer to the students in general.[24] The use of this term had died off even before the college went co-educational in 1970.[24] The college's modern nickname of "Presidents" was coined in 1917 by a sportswriter from Richmond, Virginia covering the football game between W&J and the Washington & Lee Generals.[24] Larry Stewart, the W&J's football publicity director at the time, quickly adopted the nickname on a permanent basis.[24] In July 2016, the school introduced a new brand identity, working with New York City-based SME Branding.[25]

Athletic facilities[]

The first athletic facility at Washington & Jefferson was the Old Gym.[26] College Field was purchased in 1885.[27] Originally a fairground, it was developed into a proper athletic field after the discovery of oil on the grounds.[28] It was renovated in 1999 and rechristened Cameron Stadium after the addition of an all-weather track, the installation of a FieldTurf football field, and renovated grandstands and media facilities.[27] In 1970, the Henry Memorial Center was built. The venue was renovated in 2019 and renamed the Salvitti Family Gymnasium. It houses a main gymnasium for basketball, wrestling, and volleyball, a wrestling practice room, a weight room and the Eaton Fitness Center.[29] The natatorium, a six-lane, 25-yard pool, with depths ranging four to seven feet deep, hosts the men's and women's swimming and diving teams as well as the men's and women's water polo squads.[30] The adjacent Janet L. Swanson Tennis Courts, first built 1955 and renovated in 2001, are home to the tennis teams.[31] The softball team plays at Brooks Park, which was extensively renovated in 2004.[32]

The Ross Memorial Park and Alexandre Stadium is combined multi-purpose outdoor athletic facility for the baseball, soccer and lacrosse teams.[33] At 233,000 square feet (21,600 m2) of Field Turf playing surface, the facility was the home of the largest continuous artificial playing surface in the world at its completion in 2004. Both turf surfaces at the facility have been recently updated.

[7] As part of extensive renovations in the Henry Memorial Center, the Eaton Fitness Center opened in the fall of 2019. Ross Memorial Park hosted the NCAA Division III Mideast Regional Baseball Championship in three consecutive years (2015, 2016 and 2017).

Football[]

Cameron Stadium, home of the football team since 1890

The football team competes in the NCAA Division III and is affiliated with the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC).[34] Since its founding in 1890, the team has played their home games at Cameron Stadium.[34] A number of players were named to the College Football All-America Team, and two players, Pete Henry and Edgar Garbisch have been elected to the College Football Hall of Fame.[34] Several other former players have gone on to play professionally, including "Deacon" Dan Towler, Russ Stein, and Pete Henry, who was also elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the NFL 1920s All-Decade Team.[34] The team has been coached by some of the greatest coaches in football history, including John Heisman, Greasy Neale, and Bob Folwell.[34]

The team was founded in 1890, quickly becoming well known for drawing large crowds and defeating a number of prominent football teams.[35] The faculty and administration expressed concern over the strength of the team and made efforts to reduce the influence of professionalism on the players.[36] During the 1910s, some sportswriters were suggesting that the Presidents were one of the top teams in the nation.[37] The biggest achievement in the team's history came in 1921, when the Presidents were chosen to play in 1922 Rose Bowl, playing the heavily favored California Golden Bears to a scoreless tie.[38] The Red and Black finished the season with a share of the 1921 national championship, as named by the Boand System.[39] As college football developed in the 1930s and 1940s, the Presidents fell far behind their larger competitors, who were able to offer scholarships for their players.[40] Controversy over the poor play of the football team, and a lack of play against larger teams, contributed to the resignation of a college president.[41] By the 1950s, the team joined the NCAA Division III and the Presidents' Athletic Conference.[42] By the 1980s, the team had learned to thrive in that environment, winning a number of conference championships and regularly qualifying for the NCAA Division III playoffs.[43][44] W&J finished as the nation's runner-up in both 1992 and 1994. Under current head coach Mike Sirianni's direction, the team has advanced to the NCAA Division III Quarterfinals twice (2004 and 2008). The program won its conference record 26th PAC title in 2018. Sirianni guided W&J to a 20-17 road victory over Ithaca in the 2019 ECAC Asa S. Bushnell Bowl. The victory improved W&J 4-0 in bowl games.

Entering the 2020-21 academic year, Sirianni ranks fifth among active head coaches in winning percentage among coaches with a minimum of 10 years experience. Sirianni has amassed a 156–36 record (.812 winning percentage) as he enters his 18th season guiding the Presidents.
