About the James W. Rogers Professorship in Music

The Rogers Professorship in Music was established by the Mary Stuart Rogers Foundation of Modesto, California, in 1995 in memory of the late James W. Rogers ’64. During his four years at Lewis & Clark, Jim was a member of the Lewis & Clark Chorus and various other choral groups. A gifted bass singer, he particularly enjoyed traveling with the choir on its annual tours.

In recognition of Jim’s lifelong appreciation of music and his respect for Professor Stanley Glarum (Lewis & Clark choral director from 1947 to 1975), the first Rogers Professor of Music is Gilbert Seeley, a gifted teacher and performer of choral music.

The Mary Stuart Rogers Foundation contributes to youth and other human service programs, medical research, and education from the elementary through university levels. At Lewis & Clark, the foundation also sponsors the Mary Stuart Rogers Professorship in Education, the Mary Stuart Rogers Scholarship Fund, and the John S. Rogers Science Research Program.
