Abstract
The word Intramural has a Latin derivation: intra, meaning within, and murus, meaning wall. Collegiate Intramural Sports may be defined as those competitive and recreational, team and individual sports, supervised and carried on within the walls of a college or university.|The topic of Collegiate Intramural Sports is not an infant one, nor is it an ancient one. This part of the collegiate educational system may be traced back many decades but never has it been as popular in colleges and universities as it is today. Of the seven hundred and forty-five colleges and universities listed in the 1957-1958 Blue Book of College Athletics, only six institutions do not have an intramural sports program for their students.
