John McNeill was a warm and gracious man who was bound to friends, relatives, students in human ways which cannot be easily summarized. We do well to remember thankfully what he meant and means for us and the scholarly world in his achievement as a church historian.
* This article is departure from Church History's usual policy; ordinarily we do not publish materials that grow out of ceremonial occasions. But a tribute to John T. McNeill, a member of the American Society of Church History through many decades, is certainly in place, and the Council of the Society requested that this memorial notice by James Hastings Nichols, Academic Dean of Princeton Theological Seminary, be brought to the attention of all members and readers. Several occasional and local references have been retained, but they in no way detract from the enduring and cosmopolitan scope of Dr. McNeill's life work. The lecture was delivered at The University of Chicago on March 15, 1975.
