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)
“My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation’s history.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Generation on generation, your neck rubbed the windowsill
of the stall, smoothing the wood as the sea smooths glass.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“...I, his wife, rested and was warmed in the sunlight of his loyal love, and glorious fame, and now, even though his beautiful life has gone out, it is as when some far off planet disappears from the heavens, the light of his great fame still falls upon and warms me.”
—Julia Dent Grant (1825–1902)
“Jesus, Buddha, Mahommed, great as each may be, their highest comfort given to the sorrowful is a cordial introduction into another’s woe. Sorrow’s the great community in which all men born of woman are members at one time or another.”
