Nereus C. English Athletic Leadership Award

The English Athletic Leadership Award is named for the late Nereus C. English of Thomasville, N.C. The 1926 Guilford graduate's loyalty and genuine interest in its students led to the creation of the English Endowment and the Nereus C. and Mae Martin English Scholarship Funds after his unexpected death in 1965. With his brother, the late T.R. English, he made possible English Hall, a dormitory dedicated in 1957. Nereus English received the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1962, the highest honor given by Guilford's Alumni Association.
