[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard was founded in 1636. It managed to exist for three hundred years before the Ivy League was founded. [/quote] Read (from original post): The term "Ivy League" came about in 1954, when the NCAA athletic conference for Division I was formed. At the time, the elitism of these schools was really due to their prestige in the realm of sports like football and basketball. Although the term "Ivy League" was not created until the 1950s, many of these schools were in existence as far back as 1636. [/quote]
