List Of National Lacrosse Hall Of Fame Members
The members of the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame are inducted by US Lacrosse and are enshrined at the Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame on the campus of Johns Hopkins University. Members have been inducted into the National Hall of Fame annually since 1957. The Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame were rededicated in 1997, as part of the expansion of the US Lacrosse headquarters.
Individuals are nominated in four distinct categories: players, coaches, officials/umpires, and contributors. The annual number of inductees is limited to five male and five female honorees. A nomination committee is responsible for reviewing the candidates' qualifications and selecting 25 men and 25 women who they believe are best qualified for election. After it is further narrowed down to 15 men and 15 women, the US Lacrosse Board of Directors makes the final determination of who will be the year's inductees. Each year, the nominating and voting process takes place from January through April. The annual class of inductees is publicly announced over Memorial Day weekend in May (in conjunction with the NCAA Men's Final Four held the same weekend). They are then officially inducted at a ceremony in October.
In 1992, Rosabelle Sinclair, a pioneer of the women's game, was the first woman to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Since Sinclair, there have been 76 other woman inductees, and, combined with 287 men, there are 364 total inductees as of the 2010 class.

“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is accordance with our determination to refrain from aggression and build up a sentiment and practice among nations more favorable to peace ... that we have incurred the consent of fourteen important nations to the negotiation of a treaty condemning recourse to war, renouncing it as an instrument of national policy.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The statements of science are hearsay, reports from a world outside the world we know. What the poet tells us has long been known to us all, and forgotten. His knowledge is of our world, the world we are both doomed and privileged to live in, and it is a knowledge of ourselves, of the human condition, the human predicament.”
—John Hall Wheelock (1886–1978)
“To be occasionally quoted is the only fame I care for.”
—Alexander Smith (1830–1867)
“A family with the wrong members in control—that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
