Lectureship fund to MemolY test How many can you name? honor Simpson and Duvall Announcement has been made through the alumni office of the establishment of an endowed lectureship fund in honor of retired professors Clarence Simpson and Fenton Duvall. Goal for the drive is to reach $30,000. The endowment will be used to bring highly qualified lecturers to Whitworth on an annual basis. These speakers would exemplify excellence in undergraduate teaching, a deep commitment to liberal learning and the humanities, and a thoughtful integration of Judea-Christian faith with the liberal and fine arts. Such qualities were exemplified in the teaching and years of service given by both of the men who are honored by the lectureship. Chairing the committee to establish the fund is trustee, Mary Dewey, '76. Other members include, Dr. Raymond Kay Brown, '58, alumni director; Harriet Fix; Rev. Julie Neraas, '76; Lillian Whitehouse Lyle, previous director of lifelong learning; Dr. James Hunt, professor of history/political studies; Dr. Phil Eaton, '65, professor of English; and Dr. Harry Dixon, professor of business and economics. Contributions may be sent to, Fund for Simpson-Duvall Endowed The year was 1956.
