About the Rev. Henry W. Casper, S.J., Lecturer
The annual Casper lecture was inaugurated by the Marquette history department in 1993 to honor Rev. Henry W. Casper, S.J., a long-time member of the history departments at Creighton University in Omaha and at Marquette. Casper was an expert in nineteenth century European History and in American church history. The lecture program, along with several programs for graduate students in history, is funded by an endowment from Dr. and Mrs. Wayne L. Ryan of Omaha. Dr. Ryan was a student of Father Casper’s at Creighton.
