Millsaps College Hall of Fame

In 1900 Millsaps College participated in its first intercollegiate contest, falling to Tulane University 35-0 in football.  Following that season, the College would ban intercollegiate competition for its students until the year 1910. 

In 1968 the Millsaps College Hall of Fame was created to honor those student-athletes who have successfully mixed academics with athletics. 

The first class included five members: Gaines Crawford, Claude Passeau, Sam Vick, Charles Ward and H.G. Zimonski. Since then, 175 former Majors and Lady Majors have had their names added to this prestigous list.

  
In 1981, the Hall of Fame committee added the
Distinguished Athletic Service Award which honors an individual who has made significant contributions to the betterment of Millsaps Athletics. This year's award was presented to Frank Ezelle for his outstanding dedication to Millsaps athletics.
  
The 2007 Hall of Fame Class was inducted at the Leggett Center on Homecoming Saturday, October 27, at 10 a.m. and honored along with former Hall of Fame members, friends and family.
