Track & Field
Field Day Prizes (between 1895 and 1912): Prizes were awarded at Mount Allison ‘Field Day’ competitions in 1896, 1898, and again in 1907 when Field Day became a regular component of Mount Allison's week-long closing ceremonies until at least 1912.
Intercollegiate Track & Field Trophy (1903-1910): Mount Allison joined its first intercollegiate track and field league in 1903, together with the University of New Brunswick (UNB) and Acadia University. Each year, a trophy was awarded to the team that collected the most points. The trophy became the permanent property of Acadia in 1910 after the school won the award for a fifth time.
Dennis Cup (1911): William Dennis, publisher of the Halifax Herald and Evening Mail newspapers, offered this cup for competition between Acadia, UNB, and Mount Allison. At the time the trophy was offered, however, Mount Allison was considering abolishing track sports due to a lack of interest among the student body. There are no records indicating that Mount Allison or any other team competed for this cup, but it was in Mount Allison’s possession in 1922.
Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition Trophy (1912- ): Competition for this trophy was held in Halifax, and rules stipulated that the first team to win the exhibition three times would own the cup. Unlike the previous intercollegiate track and field league that Mount Allison competed in between 1903 and 1910, this annual exhibition did not feature any field events. Mount Allison was victorious the first year the trophy was offered, in September 1912. In 1913, Mount Allison won again against teams from Dalhousie, King's College and Acadia. In autumn 1914, however, competition was suspended due to WWI.
