2. INTRODUCTION
 Currently studying for both an MBA and a JD at Harvard
University, Benjamin Spacapan graduated cum laude
from Princeton University with a major in history, a
concentration in Near Eastern history, and a minor in
contemporary European politics and society. While an
undergraduate student, Benjamin Spacapan was a
member of the Princeton University Rugby Football Club.
Princeton had its first rugby team as early as 1876, when
it was in the Intercollegiate Football Association with Yale,
Harvard, and Columbia. While this association played
according to the “rugby code,” the game began to evolve
and was unrecognizable as rugby by the early 1880s.

3. PRINCETON UNIVERSITY RUGBY
 In 1930, rugby officially returned to Princeton with the
reintroduction of the Princeton Rugby Club. However,
it wasn’t until 1931 the school’s team played its first
game, which ended in a 6-3 victory over Harvard. The
game took place in Harvard’s football stadium, and
more than 5,000 spectators attended. Princeton
Rugby has been active ever since.
The school has won the Ivy League Rugby
Championship five times since 1969, and in 2016, the
team qualified for the Sweet 16 in Division 1AA rugby.
