Endowment of Godkin Lectures.
The Godkin lectures were founded in 1903 by an endowment given to the University by the friends of Edwin L. Godkin, late editor of the "Nation," as a memorial of his long and distinguished service to the country of his adoption. The lectureship was inaugurated in 1904 by the Rt. Hon. James Bryce, whose subject was "The Study of Popular Governments."
