The Bell Lectureship
The Bell Distinguished Lectureship in Law was endowed in 1999 by Jennie M. Bell and Samuel H. Bell ('47), Federal Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The purpose of the Bell Lectureship is to engage students, faculty, members of the legal profession, and members of the community in a legal issue that has broad implications for society. The Bells hope by way of this lectureship to bring the best minds of the legal profession to Wooster students and the local community. This lectureship also will join their long-held affection for the law and faith in the values derived from a liberal arts education.
Judge Bell passed away on December 23, 2010.
