History
Founded in 1827, the Club originally consisted of seven members elected by ballot. Initially the person elected to row the 'stroke oar' also became captain and official representative of the Club; and the elected steersman became the Secretary and Treasurer. Members were obliged to attend five times a week and paid a subscription of six pounds. A College Boat House was built in the 1870s, funded by subscription. Caius crews rowed in both inter-collegiate races and in the Henley regatta. Since the admission of women to the College in 1979, the Boat Club has supported both men's and women's crews.
