Msgr. William Noé Field Memorial (University History) Lecture Series

The Special Collections & Archives Center proudly announces the creation of a special lecture series designed to honor the memory of Msgr. William Noé Field (1915-2000), beloved former University Archivist whose association and dedication to Seton Hall University spanned eight event-filled decades. 

Msgr. Field was not only a preservationist, but also an administrator and teacher who believed in the value of a well-rounded education. In the spirit of his vision - a total of five monthly lectures will be conducted throughout the Spring 2001 semester in order to better inform interested individuals on the prolific, exhilarating, and just plain fascinating history that has made up the Seton Hall experience over the past 145 years. The following is a tentative schedule of topics (with day and time) to be featured…
