	GG Brown Chair -- Remarks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		What I thought I would do this afternoon is take a few minutes to reflect on the concept of the named professorship and practices that have evolved through the ages, leading to some of my own thoughts on what such an honor means today at the University of Michigan.
		University of Michigan history records indicate that the first endowed professorship was actually created by the Alumni Association in the 1880s.
		But it's also a practice that has become very important to universities, particularly to research institutions such as ours.When one of our faculty colleagues is honored with a named professorship, as we honor Ron today, it most certainly bestows recognition to that individual for what he or she has accomplished.

		From an academical point of view it is necessary to bear in mind that the Professorship of Greek was founded by King Henry VIII, and endowed by him, as were also the other Regius Professorships; and the Crown still retained the right of appointment.

		The regius professorship of ecclesiastical history in the university of Oxford is annexed to a canonry in the cathedral, and the holder of that professorship must currently be a clerk in holy orders of the Church of England.
		The amendment had to be embodied in a clause in the Measure, because the changes have a bearing on the function to be performed by the regius professor and the residentiary canon of the cathedral.
		And clerically ordained regius professorships--but that the fact that Wimbledon was won by an American combating a German, that the All Blacks have proved to be extraordinary rugger players and that England does not always win the World cup has enriched those games.

	SSH Background of St Stephen's House
		In Oxford the number of theology professorships was increased and there was clearly a place for a new model of theological college, in close relationship to a university, especially for those who wished to study a university course as part of their formation for ordination.
		We have always hailed as our principal founder Edward King, then Regius Professor of Pastoral Theology, and later to be Bishop of Lincoln, who has been acclaimed as one of the outstandingly holy men of his age, a true saint of God.
		In the House’s first years, as it struggled to establish its life, King was obviously a great influence, almost the ‘real’ principal whilst the titular principal worked at his direction.

	UTC SunTrust Chair of Excellence in Humanities: Robert Meagher: Biographical Note
		Across thirty years of teaching, he has held visiting chairs and professorships at numerous colleges and universities, including Trinity College Dublin, Yale University, the University of Massachusetts, the University of Missouri, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Willamette University, Smith College, and Mount Holyoke College.
		For the past twenty years, Robert Meagher’s work-academic and creative-has been focused on the comparative study of ancient religion, literature, and theater, and in recent years has been marked by a growing fascination with the many and striking parallels between the religious, literary, and artistic traditions of India and those of ancient Greece.
		Although he is an active playwright and in 1982 received an NEA Playwriting Fellowship, Meagher is better known for his theatrical translations of Euripides, most of which have been commissioned by Irene Papas, with whom he has frequently collaborated.
