About the Series

Lee A. DuBridge (1901-1994), internationally acclaimed scientist and administrator, was Caltech's president from 1946 to 1969, when he became science advisor to President Nixon. Called America's "senior statesman of science" by Time magazine in 1955, DuBridge was considered an exemplary research-university president in an era of vast scientific, societal, and educational change; he guided the growth of the modern Caltech, while maintaining a breadth of view, an understanding of and an interest in national affairs that was rare among university presidents. He was also a first-rate physicist, a leader in research that was of immense importance to the Allied victory in World War II.

As a memorial to DuBridge and his numerous contributions to Caltech, Southern California, and the nation, Caltech has established the Lee Alvin DuBridge Distinguished Lecture Series to bring to campus prominent speakers of national and/or international importance. Prior lecturers in the series have been veteran journalist Walter Cronkite, financier Warren Buffett, Nobel Peace Prize-winner John Hume, Jack Valenti, longtime head of the MPAA, award-winning journalist Judith Woodruff, and investor Charlie Munger.
