Harry Camp Memorial Lecturer
Anthony Grafton, one of the leading historians in North America, gave a week-long lecture series that included two standing-room only lectures, "The First Theorists of History" and "The Life and Death of a Genre." His accompanying seminars examined the methodological debates that have engrossed historians over the last fifty years, and discussed the rise and fall of universal chronology in the seventeenth century.
