Gammon Cup
The Gammon Cup is awarded annually to the student-athlete in the graduating class who has best served the College. It is given in memory of Dr. Edgar G. Gammon, former pastor of College Church (1917-23) and President of the College (1939-55), and recipients are considered for their character, scholarship and athletic ability. Please note that the Gammon Cup was not awarded from 1944-46 due to World War II.
