New Digital Exhibition: Celebrating the Class of 1969!

On Wednesday, September 18, 2019, the School of Theology will recognize our entire community of alumni, students, staff, and faculty during the annual Matriculation Day service. Matriculation Day is the academic and liturgical celebration of the entering class of theological students through the doctoral level. More than 90 new students will be welcomed during this event. As a way to demonstrate the legacy to which they will become heir, we are honoring the 2019 School of Theology Distinguished Alumni, the Classes of 1969, 1959, and 1954 as well as all STH alumni.

The School of Theology Library has put together a digital exhibition to  celebrate the 50th reunion of the School of Theology’s class of 1969. This exhibition includes faculty and course lists, digitized copies of student-run newsletter Up Against the Cross, and a timeline highlighting crucial moments at STH and the world during those tumultuous years.

From a sermon given by Dean Hamill on 6 October 1968 titled “The Meaning of Sanctuary.” Earlier that morning, officials arrested Ray Kroll, an AWOL serviceman who sought sanctuary at Marsh Chapel, with the help of the STH community.
