Alumni Award Presented to Rev. Richard P. Unsworth by Harvard Divinity School

Harvard Divinity School presented Smith College's Rev. Richard P. Unsworth-interim dean of the chapel, Protestant chaplain and lecturer in religion-with its alumni honor, the Rabbi Martin Katzenstein Award, on June 4, 1997.

Established in 1979 to honor the memory of Rabbi Martin Katzenstein, who died in 1970 while the Divinity School's acting dean of students, the award recognizes a Harvard Divinity School graduate who exhibits "a passionate and helpful interest in the lives of other people, an informed and realistic faithfulness, an embodiment of the idea that love is not so much a way of feeling as a way of acting, and a reliable sense of humor."

From 1967 to 1980, Unsworth was chaplain and professor of religion at Smith. He then served as headmaster and president of the Northfield Mount Herman School and headmaster of the Berkshire School. An ordained minister of the United Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., he is also chairman emeritus of the Board of Trustees of Mount Holyoke College and a trustee of the Eaglebrook School. He has been an assistant chaplain at Yale University, dean of the William Jewett Tucker Foundation and professor of religion at Dartmouth College, and has served as a trustee of the American School of Tangier and the College Cevenol in France.
