Dr. Barnard joined the faculty at Fredonia in 1964. As the longest serving active faculty member on campus, Dr. Barnard served as the official commencement "Mace Bearer" since 2001, a distinction he held with great pride, respect and humility. He was recently honored for 45 years of teaching and service to the campus at a special ceremony in the spring of 2009.
The family has requested that memorials in his name be made to the Walther M. Barnard Scholarship Fund, c/o Fredonia College Foundation, 272 Central Avenue, Fredonia, NY 14063. Make a gift online>>
To honor his memory, the campus will lower its flags to half staff on the first day of classes, Monday, January 25.
