Most Rebounds Single Game
40 Art Quimby vs. Boston University 1/11/55

For reference, last year's 24-25 team total was 35.7 and opponents 29.7.  In the pre-shot clock era, 40 in a single game is amazing. And he was only 6'5.

While not known for his scoring, Art Quimby still put up some impressive numbers, averaging over 23 his senior year.
