John “ Jack ” Lundin ’ 20 Jack Lundin was the kind of student a teacher could never forget . From his infections smile to his joyful energy , being Jack ’ s teacher was always fun ! I was so inspired by Jack ’ s ability to critically think and observe . Though he had few thoughts unuttered , his contributions to class were always authentic and insightful . Teaching and knowing Jack as his Freshman mentor as well as having him return to my class for Religious Studies his senior year was a great joy and something I will always cherish . --Craig Smith , PhD ( Prep Faculty Member ) The Jack Lundin ‘ 20 Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established by Jack ’ s family at the Prep .
