History

Alfred E. Golz Lecture Fund was established by Ronald A. Golz '56 in 1970 in memory of his father. This fund is used to support a lecture by an eminent historian or humanitarian to be scheduled close to the November 21 birthday of Alfred E. Golz.

The 2012-2013 Golz Lecture will be given by Amanda Vickery, entitled "History Through the Keyhole".
