            <p>The Polo Club was a student organization, separate from the Polo Team, at Ohio State University. It was likely founded in 1926 or 1927, and existed until at least 1943. Members included male Varsity and Freshman Polo Team players, and possibly any other students interested in polo as well. Daniel Stearns was a member of both the Polo Team and the Polo Club. As of 2018, the Polo Club was not an active student organization at Ohio State University.</p>
