After leaving St. Andrew's, Watson Hutton decided to create the Buenos Aires English High School to put in practise his ideas about education, with a special predilection for football.

Cricket, swimming, tennis, fencing, boxing were some of the sports added to the institution, apart from football, which Watson Hutton had a fondness for.

The school bought its first facility in Coghlan, Buenos Aires, near the train station, with the purpose of practising physical activities as it was required[4][6] BAEHS football team, renamed "Alumni A.C." in 1901 obliged by the Argentine Football Association regulations, became not only the most successful team of amateur era in Argentine football but a legendary squad,[7] During its 12 years of existence, Alumni won 10 Primera División titles, plus 2 Copa de Honor Municipalidad de Buenos Aires, and 3 Copa de Competencia Jockey Club.
