  • Why are we called Radcliffe? The heavyweight and lightweight rowing teams are the only women’s varsity programs in the Department of Harvard Athletics that continue to compete in black and white under the name Radcliffe. In 1976, the athletic departments of the all-men’s Harvard College and all-women’s Radcliffe College merged, but the women’s rowing teams elected to continue competing under the historic name and colors. We continue to row as Radcliffe as a testament to the women who founded our team and blazed the trail we now follow.
