I'm going to America in the summer and need some info. Well, being an American myself I'd be happy to help. What can you tell me about the Ivy League? I know it's about football, but doesn't it include other sports too? Yes, not only football, today it's known for its level of success of athletic scholarships while keeping high academic standards. The Ivy League crowns champions in more than 35 sports for men and women. I see, so for example, lacrosse, ice hockey, fencing, soccer, rowing, squash and many others. That's right. The name Ivy League came from a journalist, Caswell Adams of the New York Tribune in 1937. It consists of eight top American universities, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale. It's located on the campus of Princeton University, and is still known officially as the Council of Ivy Group Presidents, right? Yes, and it continues to grow because of the great Executive Director, Jeffrey H. Orleans, who took the post in 1984.
