Mount Allison Ladies’ Athletic Association (1909- )
On 16 February 1909, the Mount Allison Ladies’ Athletic Association was formed during a meeting chaired by Ladies’ College student Eva North. The association covered female athletics at both the University and Ladies’ College, and its stated aim, as reported in The Allisonia (April 1909), was:
“… to interest as many of the girls as possible in athletics and to keep them interested by a regular system of games in hockey, basket-ball, tennis and other sports; arrangements will be made for tournaments in the spring and fall."
The Ladies’ Athletic Association was credited for organizing Mount Allison’s first women’s intercollegiate basketball match in October 1910, and for the construction of new tennis courts in May 1912.
