Earle Raymond Hedrick Lecturers


The Earle Raymond Hedrick Lectures were established in 1952 to procure for the Mathematical Association of America a lecturer of excellent quality:
... who will present a series of at most three lectures accessible to a large fraction of those who teach college mathematics.
They were named after Earle Raymond Hedrick: the first President of the Mathematical Association of America.
