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.
