Emeritus Professor Thompson Returns to Greenville for Honors

Published: April 13, 2021

Longtime Greenville resident Frank H. Thompson, emeritus professor of philosophy and religion at Greenville College, will return to the Greenville College campus Friday, October 24, to receive honors at a special colloquium hosted by the department he chaired for 25 years. Members of the Greenville community are welcome to attend.

The event will take place at 2:30 p.m. in Whitlock Music Center. Brian Hartley, former student of Thompsons, will speak. Hartley, dean of the School of the Liberal Arts and Sciences and professor of religion at Greenville College, considers Thompson a mentor.

Hartley and other scholars guided through the years by Thompson have contributed essays to a bound volume of writings currently in production. The tribute borrows from the tradition known as Festschrift (fest = celebration; schrift = writing). The 20 contributors to this Festschrift include former students and colleagues of Thompsons, who have drawn inspiration from his work. Many have achieved distinction in their respective fields and gone on to author books and articles.
