History of Athletics at Mary Baldwin College
Mary Baldwin College has had a commitment to activity for women since its inception in 1842. The
physical health of students has been a priority for the college since its founding. Early on there were required
“promenades” in the afternoons, but in the 1870’s a structured physical education program began which was
called calisthenics. Students bowled, participated in Swedish skills and played tennis and croquet. In 1891 the
first swimming pool was added on campus.
In the early 1900’s an athletic association was organized. All students were automatically members of
the “white” and “yellow” teams which evolved into the Irish and Scots clans. This provided intramural and
class contests for field hockey, basketball, track, hiking, swimming, golf, tennis, horseback riding, archery,
softball and baseball. These sports each had a student leader and teams were chosen annually, there were also
student-faculty games.
In 1948 a Virginia Athletic Federation of Colleges for Women was formed and in 1949 the annual
sports day of the association was held in Staunton. This allowed for competition with combined teams of stu-
dents from all the women’s colleges. The intramural program continued and the clans were now called the
Irish and the Scotch.
The clan system for intramurals had been expanded to English, Welsh, Scotch, and Irish in 1962, but
by 1969 ended and intramural competition was organized by class.
By 1967 there was intercollegiate competition in Dance, Golf, Equitation, Swimming, Fencing, Basketball and
Tennis.
In 1981, as a NCAA member the college joined the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, where it
stayed until 1993. From 1993 the college was an independent member of the NCAA Division III. In 1995 a
group of women’s colleges joined to form the Atlantic Women’s Colleges Conference. All the member
schools felt that competition in the coed conferences had benefited from the changed Title IX started in the
late seventies, while athletic programs at women’s colleges had fallen behind. Mary Baldwin had a strong
tenure in the AWCC, winning eleven conference championships and appearing at four NCAA post season
tournaments. The AWCC dissolved in 2007, and Mary Baldwin joined the USA South Conference.
Information about the early years of athletics at the College was taken from To Live In Time, 1992 by Patricia Menk.

MBC ATHLETIC PHILOSOPHY
Mary Baldwin College is committed to the education of today’s young
women for tomorrow’s world. The athletic program is an integral part of the over-
all educational experience. It goes beyond the mere imparting of knowledge to the
integration of knowledge and experiences from a variety of disciplines. The pursuit
of excellence and success associated with competition serves as a model for goals
set in academics and other endeavors.
Intercollegiate athletics offers athletes the opportunity to represent MBC at a
high level of competition. Faculty and staff, as well as the entire student body,
benefits from competition through the strong sense of loyalty and community that
is generated.
Top priority for the Department is the student-athlete. The direction and
administration of the program is focused on generating and maintaining a high
standard of excellence both athletically and academically for all athletes. It is the
responsibility of the entire Department to encourage and assist student-athletes in
reaching their full potentials in all their endeavors. As such, administrators and
coaches must have a strong commitment to provide them with the tools necessary
for success.
The health and physical well-being of MBC athletes is of utmost
importance. A full-time certified athletic trainer is employed by the college to
ensure the safety and health of all our participants. All concerns of this nature are
held in the strictest of confidence.
As a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Department
subscribes fully to all guidelines, principles, and regulations thereof. The letter and
spirit of the rules and regulations as set forth by the NCAA are followed at all
times.
