Mr. Wright is an authority on
modern history as well as a member

Commission for UNESCO and
chairman of the British Association
for American Studies. His master's
thesis at the University was
"Thomas Jefferson as a Pragmatist."
Three panels of University alumni,
faculty members, and students
will explore different facets of the
overall theme. Audience questions
and participation will be invited in
the panels. They will each begin at
10 a.m.
"The Future of the University in
Education for Public Service" is the
theme of the first panel, to be held
in room 301 Wilson Hall. The
obligation to prepare students for
the assumption of civic and public
career roles in the state and nation
will be discussed in this group.
A second panel, in Gilmer
Hall Auditorium, will be concerned
with "University Research
and the Public Interest." In it will
be discussed research for specific
public need versus the expense and
relevance of such research to these
needs.
