Graduate Council Lectures

Talal Asad

 

In 1928, Miss Edith Zweybruck established the Foerster Lectureship to honor the memory of her sister Agnes A. Foerster and her brother-in-law Constantine E. A. Foerster.

Miss Zweybruck requested that lectures be given "on the immortality of the soul or other kindred subjects. Such lecture is not to form a part of the regular college course and shall be delivered by some person especially qualified therefore and especially appointed for the purpose."

Oliver Sacks, Thomas S. Kuhn, Aldous Huxley, and Paul Tillich have delivered Foerster Lectures on the Immortality of the Soul.
