Athletic Awards History
H.H. Kerr Trophy - Female Athlete of the Year
Dr. Kerr was the founder of Ryerson and its first Principal. As the head of Ryerson for eighteen years, 1948-1966, he was instrumental in establishing athletics and recreation as an important part of a Ryerson student's overall education. His trophy presented in 1953, is awarded annually to the outstanding female athlete. Dr. Kerr was a charter member (1964) of the Board of Trustees of the Ontario Science Centre whose original planning meetings were held at Ryerson and he was the original chairman of the new College of applied Arts and Technology (1968-1970) when the first twenty community colleges were established.
