Carthage Publishes: Thomas J. Noer


Thomas J. Noer, Valor Distinguished Professor of the Humanities, has taught history at Carthage since 1973. In the same year, he began a course of scholarship and publication in the history of United States foreign policy and other historical fields which continues to the present. The Hedberg Library congratulates Mr. Noer on his most recent work, a biography of Michigan governor G. Mennen Williams.
