Abstract
Join Michael Angelo, archivist for Thomas Jefferson University, as he explores the history of Jefferson's football legacy in this installment of our Archive Series. Jefferson Health is proud to partner with the Philadelphia Eagles as their Official Health System Partner! Our football legacy dates to 1896, when Jefferson Medical College launched its own team, playing for the love of the game. By 1902, games drew thousands of fans, with Jefferson competing against local and national teams like UPenn, Rutgers, and Princeton. Though 1909 marked our final season, our spirit lives on in partnerships like this one!
