Jackson Bequeaths Lectureship Money

The Department of Classics announced yesterday a new annual public lectureship in memory of Carl Newell Jackson '98, whose bequest will make it possible.

John Bryan Ward-Perkins, Director of the British School in Rome, will be the first Jackson lecturer. He will deliver two illustrated lectures on "Etruria and Rome" at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, April 11 and 12, in the Semitic Museum.

The Jackson lectures will be delivered annually by a scholar on a classical subject. They will subsequently be published in the Harvard Studies in Classical Philology.
