He still holds the records for single-game points (56), and rebounds (29), and rebounds in a season (327) and rebounds in a career (967). Genovese is also sixth on the all-time scoring list with 1,288 points and his 522 points during the 1969-70 season are the fifth highest total ever in a single season. A captain on the 1969 and 1970 teams, Genovese was a two-time recipient of the Charles E.

Deeply appreciative of his experience at Hobart College, Gilman endowed the Dr. Henry "Doc" Hawley Scholarship in 1984.

The generosity of the Gilman family has made possible the refurbishment of the Alumni Room which is now named The Gilman Room in Art's memory.
