Reverend Richard Unsworth

Abstract

I first came to the Pioneer Valley in 1954. I came to Smith College as a member of the Religion Department and as a college chaplain. I was there until 1963, and then went up to Dartmouth. I came back to Smith again in 1967 and was there until in 1980, when I went off to be Headmaster at the Northfield-Mount Hermon School.
