Lectures Established in 1925

The lectures were established, in 1925 in memory of Alexander James Inglis, former professor of Education, by his friends and colleagues. Through the lectureship, the Graduate School of Education "seeks to stimulate thinking and experiment in the field to which Professor Inglis devoted his life." The lectures are open to the public and are published annually by the School.
