Scrum-Thing Special
A long-standing ritual was upheld on a crisp October afternoon when the HBS Rugby Football Club took to the pitch against the “Old Boys” alumni team. Jim Johnstone and Morris McInnes (both MBA ’65) first organized the sport on campus; today, the club includes graduate students from across the University. The final score was a hard-fought 19–12 in favor of the student team, but the stats seemed almost beside the point once the customary postgame cookout began. The Old Boys hope to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of organized rugby at HBS in 2013 by bringing together the nearly 1,000 alumni who have played the game at the School over the years.
