The lecture will be followed by a book signing!

 Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

- from W.B. Yeats, "The Stolen Child"

 

The Marilyn Crandell Schleg Memorial Lecture is funded by a gift from the Schleg family in the name of Marilyn Crandell Schleg, Albion College graduate of the Class of 1958. In 1998, a love for libraries prompted Marilyn to endow Albion College's Stockwell-Mudd Libraries with a College Archivist position and to fund an annual lectureship.  The Marilyn Crandell Schleg, '58, Memorial Lecture 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. Her husband, Edward, and son, David, now continue to fund the Lecture in her name.


"(My family and I) wanted to do something for Albion
because Albion did so much for me," Marilyn stated.
