Converting Students into History Lovers

Professor Henneman was a superstar of education who accomplished the impossible. He made medieval history exciting, interesting, entertaining, and educational. Both my wife and I were not merely his students, we were his fans, taking every class he taught at Iowa and deeply disappointed that he was not allowed to offer more. He could not help but convey his love and enthusiasm for history that infected and converted us all. We became lovers of history and students of the medieval. By any measure, he was a colossal success and a tribute to Princeton.

We mourn his passing and remember him with fondness and affection. Our condolences to his family and all those whom he loved.
