I am very pleased to present the Graduate Council Lectures at the University of California, Berkeley. Seven lectureships comprise the Graduate Council Lectures, each with a distinct endowment history. These unique lectureship programs have brought distinguished visitors to Berkeley since 1909 to speak on a wide range of topics, from philosophy to the sciences.
