"Harvard Votes to Return to Football"

On April 2, 1906, the Harvard Athletic Committee "favorably acted" to reinstitute the game of football at the school.

Though it was never officially dropped as a sport, Harvard was a leader in suggesting the game should be banned in 1905 due to its brutality. Reforms were made after the 1905 season, spurring the Harvard board to reconsider.

The Crimson were an early power in the game, claiming a legacy that includes 13 national titles.
