Athletic Awards History
G. L. Dobson Trophy - Female Greatest Contribution to Sport, Campus and Community Life
Gladys Dobson, who donated this trophy in 1955 for annual presentation for the greatest contribution to athletics by a woman, was a productive and energetic pioneer at the Institute since the first day of its establishment in 1948. In addition to managing the Institute's food services, Mrs. Dobson founded and supervised the Home Economics, the Fashion, and the Early Childhood programs whose outstanding quality played a vital role in Ryerson's success from the beginning. She encouraged female participation in athletic activities which she believed were an integral component of a good education.
