Dean’s Lecture Series
‘In the Company of Scholars’
The series, designed to bring students and professors together across the disciplines to hear talks by distinguished faculty members, takes its name from the opening words of Yale: A Short History, by historian George W. Pierson (1904-1993): “Yale is at once a tradition, a company of scholars, a society of friends.”
Next Lecture: Watch this page for the list of lectures to be presented in the 2013-2014 academic year.
All talks take place Tuesdays at 4:00 pm in HGS 119 and are followed by a reception in the McDougal Common Room.
