The Harrington Lecture Series, originally called the “Annual Lecture on Liberal Education,” was re-named in 1966 in honor of the late Elbert Harrington, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and Professor Emeritus of communication. The Harrington Lecture is an annual event featuring a distinguished professor with long-standing service to the College of Arts and Sciences. Doors for the program, which is free to the public, will open at 6:30 p.m. A reception honoring Quevillon will be held immediately following the lecture.
