The 1895 Rush-Lake Forest football team was an American football team that represented Rush Medical College and Lake Forest University during the 1895 college football season. The team compiled a 4–6 record, shut out three opponents (while being the recipient of a shutout five times), and was outscored by their opponents by a total of 182 to 67. They are noteworthy in college football for becoming one of, if not the only example of a mid-season consolidation of two distinct football programs into a single team.

  • The 1895 Rush-Lake Forest football team was an American football team that represented Rush Medical College and Lake Forest University during the 1895 college football season. The team compiled a 4–6 record, shut out three opponents (while being the recipient of a shutout five times), and was outscored by their opponents by a total of 182 to 67. They are noteworthy in college football for becoming one of, if not the only example of a mid-season consolidation of two distinct football programs into a single team. Before the merger of each school's football program, Rush Medical and Lake Forest both had plans for a regular season and schedule, which included many of the same opponents, such as Chicago, Beloit, Chicago Athletic Association, and the Armour Institute of Technology. The idea of a merger between the two teams was first proposed by G. W. King on or around October 10, 1895, and was quickly adopted on October 12 with the help of J. D. Nary and J. H. Rice. The consolidation of both programs was easier than would otherwise be expected, given that Rush Medical was already affiliated with Lake Forest, the former being an affiliate graduate college of the latter. The plan was for Rush Medical, which had attained several experienced football players from their successful 1894 season, to forgo their men to Lake Forest, in return for the university's superior schedule, which included regional powerhouses Wisconsin, Michigan, and Notre Dame. The law programs of Chicago University and Lake Forest were also combed for possible talent. With the consolidation, the combined team hoped to stand a better chance against the more accomplished Midwestern football programs. Unfortunately, this strategy did not seem to play out for either team, and the Rush-Lake Forest experiment lost the majority of their remaining contests for the 1895 season. (en)
