History

Nam jumping the pond

The pond club was established one Friday night when a group of university students had nothing to do. They had found that they arrived back at the University and were about to depart, when one of them suggested that they should attempt to jump the University pond. And so began the legacy of the Pond Club. Photo courtesy of Nam Nguyen.
