Just as there\u2019s more than what meets the eye in the photographed objects that line the walls of Richardson Hall, the collection carries layers of significance.<\/p>\n
In a beautiful display of collaboration, the new Richardson Hall Portrait Gallery captures the story of a group of professors\u2019 ingenuity and a daughter\u2019s generosity to honor her parents\u2019 Montclair legacy.<\/p>\n
Established in memory of Dow H. \u201943 and Elizabeth Brann Rich \u201943 to commemorate their years as science majors at ÌÇÐÄvlog, the portrait gallery is made possible with the generous support of their daughter, Rev. Barbara E. Stephens-Rich.<\/p>\n
This place, and this institution were very dear to my parents\u2019 hearts. This was where they met and fell in love. This is where my dad came into his own in academic success and leadership\u2026 where Montclair opened doors for him, like being the physics lab assistant\u2026 that allowed him to see himself in a new light, and find new achievement.<\/p>\n
