Ross Ogilvie Hill was born July 1, 1923, in Montreal and went on to play on McGill’s undefeated intermediate football championship team in 1945 before earning a bachelor of science in 1946 followed by a medical degree in 1948.

Highly devoted and dedicated to the University, he was arguably one of the greatest supporters of the athletics program. His most significant impact was as a mentor and supporter of coaches and student-athletes in addition to his constant promotion of the values of intercollegiate sport to his academic colleagues, administrators, university governors and graduates.

He was a member of the Pre-Medical Society executive, an associate professor in Medicine and sat on McGill’s board of governors and numerous other committees. An active member of both the Friends of McGill Hockey and Football executives, Hill also served as honorary president of the football team and was honorary captain of the hockey Redmen.

Dr. Hill passed away in Ottawa on January 15, 2006.
