The
Marilyn Crandell Schleg Memorial Lecture
is endowed by a gift
from the Schleg family in the name of Albion College Class of 1958 alumna, Marilyn
Crandell Schleg.
In 1998, a love for libraries prompted Marilyn to endow Albion College's Stockwell-Mudd Libraries with a College
Archivist position and a related lectureship. The Marilyn Crandell Schleg
Memorial Lectureship provides visiting archivists, preservationists, curators
and historians the opportunity to lecture on archival and library topics and
work with the Albion College community in preserving their legacy.
Marilyn Crandell Schleg was a medical librarian with two Master's degrees,
one in microbiology from the University of Wisconsin and the other from the
University of Michigan in library science. Marilyn was afflicted with
Multiple System Atrophy, a form of Parkinson's disease, for many years before her
untimely death in July of 2001.
"(My family and I) wanted to do something for Albion because Albion did
so much for me," Marilyn stated.
