The Montrose Award was established in 1952 and is named in honor of Frank Montrose. It is given each year during homecoming to a graduate of the preceding class who not only was an outstanding athlete, but a scholar, a leader, and a person of high moral character. This prestigious award recognizes each year’s outstanding male athlete and honors Montrose’s memory. Additionally. it pays tribute to the very promising career that he would have had in Pioneer football had he not fallen victim to nephritis and passed away his freshman year.

Parade line up will be at 9:30 a.m. Upon arrival for parade line up, there will be individuals at a registration table at the North Entrance to the University.
