COURTESY OSU RECREATIONAL SPORTS; 1993 OREGON STATE YEARBOOK 10 EVERYONE an ATHLETE For over 100 years, Recreational Sports programs have helped students find community through the love of sport. “Every man an athlete” was the mantra of A.D. Browne, director of the newly formed Intramural Athletics Program in 1916. He set the ambitious goal of at least 95% student participation in intramural activities. His goal was expanded in 1928 by Ruth Glassow, director of physical education for women, who declared, “A sport for every woman.” Recreational Sports at Oregon State continues this legacy today as one of the oldest intramural programs in the nation. The Corvallis campus o" ers more than 50 intramural sport leagues, tournaments and events annually, and there are 39 student-run Sport Clubs (including seven equestrian-based ones).
