Moravian College
Moravian University is a private university in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The institution traces its history to girls' and boys' schools opened in 1742 by Moravians, descendants of followers of the Bohemian Reformation under John Amos Comenius. The Bethlehem Female Seminary was founded in 1742 as a girls' school, and renamed as the ''Moravian Seminary and College for Women'' in 1913. Moravian boys' schools were founded in 1742 and 1743 and merged in 1759 to form Nazareth Hall in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The boys' school established a Moravian College and Theological Seminary in 1807, which moved to Bethlehem in 1858. The two colleges were accredited to award undergraduate degrees in 1863 and merged in 1954 to form Moravian College. In 2021, the college was elevated to a university.

1921–22 American Soccer League
The 1921-22 American Soccer League season was the inaugural season of the American Soccer League. Philadelphia F.C. finished on top of the season table. History By 1921, professionalism among American soccer teams was on the rise. This created a disparity between fully professional, semi-professional and amateur teams competing in the same league. As a result, several fully professional teams in both the National Association Football League and Southern New England Soccer League joined together to form the American Soccer League. The new league was geographically limited to the area between Philadelphia and Boston. On May 7, 1921, the ASL was founded at a meeting in New York by a group of investors and representatives from eight teams. W. Luther Lewis was selected as the league's first president and he established the league headquarters at 126 Nassau Street, New York.

National Association Football League
The National Association Football League (also spelled ''National Association Foot Ball League'') (NAFBL) was a semi-professional U.S. soccer league which operated between 1895 and 1898. The league was reconstituted in 1906 and continued to operate until 1921. History The NAFBL was formed in January 1885 and by April 1895, the NAFBL began operation as the third significant U.S. soccer league. It drew its teams primarily from northern New Jersey and New York City. Few records exist for the league, but the teams and standings for four of the five seasons do exist. After its first spring-summer season in 1895, the NAFBL moved to a winter schedule in the fall of 1895. On December 16, 1895, the NAFBL opened its second season with a game pitting the Kearny Scottish-Americans and the International Athletic Club. In 1899, a deep recession, accompanied by the Spanish–American War led to the collapse of several athletic leagues and teams, among them the NAFBL. On August 14, 1906, the ...
