Team Effort Establishes Luther and Jenny Erickson Endowed Professorship of Chemistry

An outpouring of support from former students of Luther Erickson, professor…

The Mass Observation project recorded the views and experiences of ordinary Britons from 1937 into the early 1960s. The archive is a rich source of information about Britain before, during, and after World War II, and about changes in attitudes to many topics in social and economic life.

Together the Ericksons taught, encouraged, mentored, and supported thousands of students. A group of those students have now returned the favor by funding the professorship.

Experts will discuss “The Tyranny of Data” during a Sept. 9-12 symposium sponsored by the Rosenfield Program in Public Affairs, International Relations, and Human Rights.
