Ray Tompkins
Ray Tompkins was an American football player and businessman. He was a rusher on the undefeated 1881, 1882, and 1883 Yale Bulldogs football teams that have been recognized for winning three consecutive national championships. He was selected as the captain of the 1882 and 1883 teams. He later became the president of the Chemung Canal Trust Company in Elmira, New York.
Both the Ray Tompkins Memorial, originally a 720 acre wilderness in northwest New Haven, home to the Yale Golf Course, and the Ray Tompkins House on campus, which home to Yale's Athletic Department, were built through a bequest from his wife, Sarah Wey Tompkins.
