A 1930 graduate of Kansas State Teachers College, Scott was the first non-Davidson Hall of Fame inductee. Davidson College enjoyed many of its greatest athletic achievements with Dr. Tom Scott as Director of Athletics from 1954 until 1975. He was golf coach of five Southern Conference champions and hired Charles G. "Lefty" Driesell, who guided the Wildcats to national Top 10 rankings and three NCAA bids in nine seasons. Dr. Scott served as chairman of the prestigious NCAA Basketball Committee and helped bring many NCAA events to North Carolina, including the 1974 and 1984 Final Four. Scott died in 1993, and each year the Davidson Athletic Foundation holds a golf tournament in his name to honor one of great contributors to Davidson athletics.
