Munroe Hall Dedication

“John became the one professor at the university that every  student encountered,”

“He emerged as the best-known person in the state. He knew everybody  and everybody knew him.” 

Carol Hoffecker – Nov 2, 1997

Munroe Hall Dedication

"John Munroe has been a model for all of us, but especially for those of us who teach at the University, whatever our subject. 

He has been our teacher, and what he has taught in all its dimensions has built the University more than bricks and mortar can ever do.  But it's nice, too, to have this new, beautiful and comfortable building."

Carol Hoffecker Nov 2, 1997
