The
Watson Chair Lecture
In 2005 Sulgrave Manor was proud to announce
the re-launch of lectures from "the Watson
Chair of American History, Literature and Institutions",
founded in 1919, at a time when no university
in Britain had either a Chair or a Lectureship
in American Studies.
The second lecture in the new series will be held
on Friday, November 10th, 2006 at 6.00pm at Sulgrave
Manor with guest speaker Stephen Joel Trachtenberg,
the President of George Washington University
and a member of Sulgrave Manor's Advisory Committee
since 2004.
The lecture will be followed by dinner at the
Manor.
Tickets are available now. If you would like to
receive further information please e-mail wendy.barnes@sulgravemanor.org.uk
or call 01295 760205.
