The Cornell Trophy is presented to the winning crew of the lightweight second varsity eight race.  This plaque-type award, first presented in 1959, is the gift of Cornell University's 1949 150 pound American Henley Championship Crew.  Princeton University won the inaugural cup in 1959.  The Cornell Trophy resided in Harvard's Newell Boathouse during an incredible 14-year winning streak.  This was the longest that one school has maintained any EARC award.
