===Rebirth through rugby=== In 1951, two guards of the BAEHS, Daniel Ginhson (also a former player of [[Buenos Aires Football Club (1886)|Buenos Aires F.C.]]) and Guillermo Cubelli, supported by the school's alumni and fathers of the students, decided to establish a club focused on rugby union exclusively. Former players of [[Alumni Athletic Club|Alumni football club]] and descendants of other players already dead gave their permission to use the name "Alumni".<ref name=unido/> [[File:Alumni rugby infantil 1952.jpg|thumb|Youth team of Alumni in 1952]] On December 13, in a meeting presided by Carlos Bowers himself (who had proposed the name "Alumni" to the original football team 50 years before),<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121108143046/http://www.asociacionalumni.com.ar/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=71 "Los comienzos de Alumni" - club's official website] (Archive, 8 Nov 2012)</ref> the club was officially established under the name "Asociación Juvenil Alumni", also adopting the same colors as its predecessor.<ref name=unido/> The team achieved good results and in 1960 the club presented a team that won the third division of the [[Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires|Buenos Aires league]], reaching the second division. Since then, Alumni has played at the highest level of Argentine rugby and its rivalry with [[Belgrano Athletic Club]] is one of the fiercest [[Local derby|local derbies]] in [[Buenos Aires]]. Alumni would later climb up to the first division winning 5 titles: 4 consecutive between 1989 and 1992, and the other in 2001. In 2002, Alumni won its first [[Nacional de Clubes]] title, defeating [[Jockey Club de Rosario]] 23–21 in the final.
