In October of 1992, the New England College Athletic Hall of Fame was inaugurated during ceremonies in Gilmore Dining Hall.
The Hall of Fame was the brainchild of George R. Hamilton, who joined NEC’s faculty in 1964 and created the physical education curriculum. In the years that followed, Hamilton became a professor of physical education, served 21 years as director of physical education, served 12 years as athletic director, and coached, at various times, basketball, baseball, cross country, golf, soccer and tennis.
