Arthur R. "Art" Quimby (July 1, 1933 – December 6, 2010) was an American college basketball standout from the University of Connecticut. He played for the Huskies from 1951–52 to 1954–55 and is still the program's all-time leader in rebounds for a single game (40), single season (611) and career (1,716). He also owns the single season and career rebounding averages (24.4 and 21.5 per game, respectively). Quimby's combined career point and rebound totals (3,114) are more than any other Connecticut player.

A native of New London, Connecticut, Quimby attended the Bulkeley School, which was a small all-boys school whose basketball program was generally very good. He led the team to undefeated state and New England championships as a senior and was heavily recruited by college teams. Quimby was initially going to attend the University of Kentucky (UK) to play for Adolph Rupp, but due to a scandal at UK he decided to attend Connecticut.

During Quimby's career as a Huskie he compiled an 80–19 overall record. He led them to four Yankee Conference championships and was a three-time First Team All-Conference selection. During his junior and senior seasons, Quimby led the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in total rebounds. As a junior, he led the nation in rebounding average. In 1954, Connecticut earned a berth in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, and in 1955 they earned their first-ever National Invitation Tournament (NIT) bid. They lost the opening round games of each tournament.

Harriet Quimby (May 11, 1875 – July 1, 1912) was an early American aviator and a movie screenwriter. In 1911 she was awarded a U.S. pilot's certificate by the Aero Club of America, becoming the first woman to gain a pilot's license in the United States. In 1912 she became the first woman to fly across the English Channel. Although Quimby lived only to the age of thirty-seven, she had a major influence upon the role of women in aviation.

A historical marker has been erected near the remains of the farmhouse in Arcadia, Michigan where Quimby was born. After her family moved to San Francisco, California in the early 1900s, she became a journalist. She moved to New York City in 1903 to work as a theater critic for Leslie's Illustrated Weekly and more than 250 of her articles were published over a nine-year period.

She became interested in aviation in 1910, when she attended the Belmont Park International Aviation Tournament on Long Island, New York and met John Moisant, a well-known American aviator and operator of a flight school, and his sister Matilde Moisant.
