In his Foreword to this Festschrift presented to Father Matthew L. Lamb on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, Archbishop Charles Chaput comments, It is a privilege to call him my friend, and to wish on the bishops of the century ahead the good counsel of men like Father Lamb. Eminent contributors, among whom are long-time friends, colleagues, and students of Father Lamb, offer fascinating scholarly treatments of a variety of themes, from The Idea of a University to The Coming Middle Ages.
