Description

This dissertation examines the history of Lehigh University's athletic culture and extra-curriculum from 1866 to 1998 and argues that both of those institutions served as the basis for identity within the undergraduate student body. Additionally, this dissertation argues that the athletic culture and extra-curriculum established Lehigh's identity within the collegiate world and endured because those supporting both institutions publicly promoted them as complementary to the university's academic aims. I used the term athletic extra-curriculum in order to cover the full range of athletic-related outlets available to undergraduates. Those outlets included class-based teams, banner and cane rushes, intramural and club sports programs, cheering practices, smokers and pep rallies, physical education classes, and intercollegiate teams. I used the term athletic culture in order to capture the beliefs and attitudes associated with the athletic extra-curriculum. Those beliefs and attitudes included self-reliance and the maintenance of a balance between academic and athletic aspirations.
