It is named after Osler House - the clinical medics club (Similar to a college JCR or MCR)
History[edit]
Osler House Boat Club was founded in 1839 and the club colours are black and white.[4] The club shares the facilities belonging to Brasenose College Boat Club. was founded in 1839, racing independently as a clinical medics club, before merging with Green College after its foundation in 1979. Green College was set up as a college for graduate medical students and students in related areas, and had 50% of its students involved in the medical field (clinical or academic) before its merger with Templeton College to form Green Templeton College, in 2008 [5].
In 2008, the newly formed Green Templeton college formed its own boat club [6], leaving Osler House once again competing as an independent entity. Osler House still maintains the BR boat code "OSG" as a nod to its history [7]
This independent club continued being active in collegiate racing until 2012 [8]. Since then it has been largely dormant, bar entering one event each year to maintain affiliation to OURCs.
Current[edit]
As of 2020, Osler House Boat Club was being revived. The club had c. 40 members, 1 Women's boat, and 2 very old Men's boats. The equipment was stored in Brasenose College Boat House. Green Templeton College retained strong ties with the clinical medicine community through its affiliation with Osler House.[9]
