This event, the first of its kind in America, featured gliders that were built and flown by students from a number of colleges around the country such as Harvard, MIT, Tufts, etc. To work around the fact that Squantum has no elevations, the sponsors of the Intercollegiate Glider Meet erected a swiveling wooden ramp on the Harvard Aviation Field to allow the participants to launch their craft into the wind regardless of its direction.
