Series I: University Lecture records, 1972-1998

The records document the University Lecture series, from its beginning in 1972 to 1998. The files contain information about the speakers (cv, bio, clippings, and articles), event press release, advertisement, flyer/poster, invitation, guest lists, rsvp cards, dinner seating charts, Provost's introductory remarks, correspondence and other details about the logistics of the event. For a few, there is a transcript of the lecture. There is one lecture missing (Zbigniew Brzezinski, 1982-1983). There are also files for cancelled lectures and some with information about potential speakers within the collection. The records were put together by those in charge of coordinating the event: Arlene Jacobs, Ruth Levenson, Harriette Nieves, and Mary Frances Schlichter.
