... to remember. Despite occurring before Fall Break, the Order of Gentlemen recipient was announced and honored today. Today, Aidan Tompkins '24, the 2023-24 inductee into the Order of Gentlemen, an award given for exemplary service to Hall and King, was feted at the annual Founder’s Week Dinner in Oak Room of South Dining Hall.
After dinner, Tompkins spoke to those gathered, imparting personal insights and sage advice for current Stedsmen.
Later, Tompkins was recognized for his service to King and Hall- for being who he is, embodying the essence of a gentleman- and was inducted into the Hall's Order of Gentlemen for "action faithful and honor clear to Hall and King." While he will be remembered along with other recipients by a plaque in the Hall's main lobby, Tompkins also received a specially minted coin commemorating this high honor.
On receiving the Order of Gentlemen and addressing his fellow Stedsmen, Tompkins shared, “It was a true honor to be inducted to the Order of the Gentleman. I think my class had many men deserving of the award, and it meant a lot to ultimately be selected. I hope my time as president was able to live up to the great administrations that came before me like those of Michael Lynch and Josh Gambardella.”
Congratulations Aidan!
