Reverend Laurence T. Murphy took the helm as the 16th president of Seton Hall University, in August 1979. A soft-spoken man, Fr. Murphy en- tered office with quiet dignity. A Mass and reception in September marked his inauguration. Although quiet in manner, he is a visi- ble administrator on campus.

Therefore, it was only fitting that he establish the First Annual Elizabeth Ann Seton Lecture on May 12, celebrating the day of her canonization as the first American- born saint. The event’s schedule included a mass in the Seton Hall University chapel, followed by a convocation in Walsh Gymnasium, where mem- bers of the Seton Hall community spoke about the life of Mother Seton and her historical
