Joseph Wright Trophy

The Joseph Wright Trophy has been in competition among the EARC varsity lightweight eight crews starting in 1938 when the trophy was made available to oarsmen through the cooperation of the American Rowing Association.  Yale University won the trophy in that first year.  The actual original trophy, honoring the memory of the "Dean of Canadian Rowing" and former coach at the University of Pennsylvania, was retired by Cornell in 1965 and the EARC member colleges replaced the award with a silver cup bearing the same name.  In 1966, Harvard was the first to take home the cup.
