Editing Asociación Alumni (section)

===Background===
{{Main|Alumni Athletic Club}}
The first club with the name "Alumni" played [[association football]], having been found in 1898 by students of [[Buenos Aires English High School]] (BAEHS) along with director [[Alexander Watson Hutton]]. Originally under the name "English High School A.C.", the team would be later obliged by the [[Argentine Football Association|Association]] to change its name, therefore "Alumni" was chosen, following a proposal by Carlos Bowers, a former student of the school.

Alumni was the most successful team during the first years of Argentine football, winning 10 of 14 [[Argentine Primera División|league championships]] contested. Alumni is still considered the first great football team in the country.<ref name=clarin>[http://edant.clarin.com/diario/2003/04/24/d-549894.htm "En el nombre del fútbol"], ''[[Clarín (Argentine newspaper)|Clarín]]'' newspaper, 2003-04-24</ref> Alumni was reorganised in 1908, "in order to encourage people to practise all kinds of sports, specially football". This was the last try to develop itself as a sports club rather than just as a football team, as Lomas, Belgrano and [[Quilmes Atlético Club|Quilmes]] had successfully done in the past, but the efforts were not enough. Alumni played its last game in [[1911 in Argentine football|1911]] and was definitely dissolved on April 24, 1913.
