BC announces Joseph Chair Boston College has established an endowed professorship in the university's theology department through an anonymous gift. The chair, to be known as the Joseph Chair in Catholic Theology, will memorialize the donor's son. T?e Joseph Chair will initially entaIl a one-year appointment every other year, said Rev. J. Robert Barth, SJ, dean of the university's College of Arts and Sciences. A search for the inaugural chairholder will be conducted during the 199495 ~cademic year. "The Joseph Chair represents an opportunity to contribute to the body of work in Catholic theology, an area in which Boston College has traditionally been strong," Father Barth said. The new chair will illustrate the role of effective research in one or another discipline of Catholic theology. The first three chairholders will be from the field of patristics, the study of the Fathers of the Church. While the chair is primarily in support of research its holder may teach one graduate seminar and deliver university-wide public lectures during the academic year.
