Description
Today it is not unusual for a woman to be the director of a seminary library. But in 1962, when H. Lucille Hager was appointed the director of the Concordia Seminary library, there were very few female library directors and even fewer female seminary library directors. Not only was Hager the only female faculty member at Concordia, but she was also tenured. She participated fully in the life of the seminary as a faculty member and had an equal vote in faculty meetings. Her competency can be seen by her successful tenure evaluation and her appointment as the library director despite her gender in a denomination that does not ordain women. She was an extraordinary woman like the other extraordinary library staff and supporters connected to the Seminex library. When the Concordia Seminary Board of Control voted on the faculty members in 1973, they chose not to vote on whether Hager should be commended or corrected. (1) She could have stayed at the Concordia library, but, because of her convictions, she voted with most of the faculty members to go into exile. On the day in February 1974 when the faculty marched off campus, Hager put on her academic gown and joined them. (2) She left her library, her position, and her salary, sacrificing them for what she believed was right. But she did not leave her commitment to being a librarian: to serve the academic resource needs of the students and faculty.
