Athletics at Haverford
Above the doorway of the athletic building is the Latin phrase Mens Sana in Corpore Sano: a healthy mind in a healthy body. This phrase is one of the guiding principles in our mission of preparing boys for life. We believe that participation in a vigorous athletic program helps develop our young men to face various challenges and opportunities, as well as foster lifetime bonds with their fellow teammates. Michael Murphy, Director of Athletics
