	'''David L. "Buddha" Meyer''' [[Columbia College\|CC]] '[[1977\|77]] founded the [[Columbia University Ultimate Frisbee Team]] in the fall of [[1974]], during his sophomore year. Buddha was a graduate of Columbia High School in Orange, [[New Jersey]], where the game of Ultimate originated in [[1968]]. Many of Buddha's high school classmates had founded or were running other college teams on the East Coast, including Bob Evans at [[Princeton]], Dave Leiwant at [[Yale]] and Jon (JC) Cohn at [[Cornell]]. The team's first shirt was a copy of the Columbia High School shirt stating Columbia Ultimate Frisbee in Columbia blue above concentric circles (supposed to be a Frisbee). In contrast, the Columbia High School shirt had black lettering and said C.H.S. Ultimate Frisbee [confirm]. The sport used a Master Frisbee (165s and 175s had not yet been invented).
