6.2 Papers of the Vice President 1999 – 2001
Each semester, the Vice President organizes a Speaker Series in which distinguished figures in academia, the arts, and professional environments are invited to speak in Jefferson Hall during one of the Society’s Friday-night meetings. This box contains many of the letters sent to invite individuals such as Jerry Greenfield (of Ben & Jerry’s fame), Frank Oz, Anthony Kennedy, Stephen King, Annie Dillard, and Jimmy Carter to participate in the Speaker Series.
