THE REDPATH LECTURE SERIES

The Redpath Lecture Series was established In 1988 when Nancy Redpath endowed an annual lecture series in memory of her late husband, Robert Redpath (1906–1987), who was a long-time trustee devoted to the mission of the South Orange-Maplewood Adult School.

This lecture or series is often based on a topic that would have been of special interest to Redpath, such as communications and semantics.
