Athletics Hall of Fame
Dick Roberts’ (’50) contributions to Union College Athletics were remarkable long after his playing days for the Dutchmen came to an end. He was known for his excellent defensive skills and assists on the basketball court of Alumni Gym, and was a co-captain and the recipient of the Bailey Cup, symbolic of leadership, after his 1949-50 senior season. Yet, he continued to define the word “assist,” as a legal advisor to the college, a member of the Board of Trustees, an Athletic Advisory Committee representative, a fund raiser, athletic booster, and an ambassador of Union College. His devotion to his alma mater, and the college’s athletic department, is unparalleled.
