Thomas Turner Barr
- Induction:
- 1990
- Class:
- 1913
Judged too small to play football at Rutgers after a tryout as a freshman, he became a manager of the team as a senior in 1913. Upon his death in 1949, Barr bequeathed much of his estate to Rutgers. The fortune was held in trust for his wife with the stipulation that, upon her death, the money would go to the university to provide football scholarships. Mrs. Barr died in 1966. In 1967, the first Barr scholarships were awarded to four student-athletes - Murray Bakst, Steve Ferrughelli, Leo Smith and Kevin O'Connor.
