Did You Know?
Caltech's 1100-seat Beckman Auditorium was designed by Edward Durrell Stone, noted architect of Radio City Music Hall and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. It first opened in 1964.
Caltech's Watson Lectures have been informing the public of research advances at Caltech for more than 100 years...since 1922!
For some historical perspective enjoy this video from our 40th Anniversary celebration.
