<div>To Members of the MIT Community:<br>
<br>
I write to invite you to attend this spring's Karl Taylor Compton<br>
Lecture, which will be delivered by the Honorable Senator Edward</div>
<div>M. Kennedy on<u><b> Friday, April 13.</b></u><br>
<br>
The Karl Taylor Compton Lecture series was inaugurated in 1957 to<br>
honor the late Karl Taylor Compton, who served as president of MIT<br>
from 1930-48 and chairman of the MIT Corporation from 1948-54. The<br>
oldest, best known, and perhaps the most distinguished of MIT<br>
lectureships, the Compton lectures were established "to bring to
MIT<br>
some of the great minds on the world scene." Senator Kennedy's
lecture<br>
marks a new beginning for this historic series after a hiatus of<br>
several years.<br>
<br>
It is particularly fitting that Senator Kennedy should deliver the<br>
first in the revival of the Compton Lectures: not only is he one
of<br>
the leading figures in American public life, but he has also been
a<br>
steadfast advocate for education and research throughout his<br>
distinguished career. His lecture, "A Life in Public Service,"
will<br>
take place at 2:30 p.m. this Friday in the Stata Center's Kirsch<br>
Auditorium (Room 32-123) and is open to members of the MIT
community.<br>
I hope to see you there.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
</div>
