The Gregg Cup was donated to Kenyon College by Henry Sellers Gregg of the Class of 1881, a longtime Kenyon volunteer who served as a trustee of the College from 1917 until a year before his death in 1938. Originally intended to acknowledge the alumnus (or, since the advent of coeducation, alumna) who, in the opinion of the Alumni Council, had made the most significant contribution to the welfare of Kenyon in a given year, the Gregg Cup is now awarded in recognition of a history of service to the College.
This trophy cup is inscribed as follows:
“Presented to Kenyon College by Henry Sellers Gregg, 1881 A.B. to inscribe at Commencement the name of the alumnus who has done most for Kenyon during the current year.”
The Gregg Cup was first awarded in 1934, and the names of those so honored to date are inscribed on the Cup.
