Combative sports, wrestling, boxing, fencing and judo, have all seen a rise and fall in popularity in the student population. Boxing, for example, experienced its golden age during the 1930s and 1940s. Judo made its first appearance on campus in the mid 1960s. Fencing, never a major sport, has continued to attract some participants since its start in 1930. Only wrestling maintained a sustained level of popularity and is presently the only inter-collegiate combative sports program on campus. Over time the other disciplines have functioned primarily within student or university clubs.
