Visiting
Scholars
The Phi Beta Kappa Society sponsors the Visiting Scholar program,
which each year assembles a panel of distinguished scholars and
statespersons from which PBK chapters may request a visitor. A Visiting
Scholar typically stays two days at each host institution, during
which time he/she delivers a Public Lecture, visits selected classes,
and meets informally with students and faculty. The Skidmore Chapter's
practice is to request a Visiting Scholar every other year.
The Phi Beta Kappa Endowment
Fund in Honor of Eleanor "Ellie" L. Huston
In 2007, Douglas Huston (one of the Chapter's
distinguished Emeriti) and the family of Ellie Huston established
an endowment fund to support the Chapter's program of speakers;
we are immensely grateful for their generous and thoughtful gift.
In the list below, an asterisk (*) indicates that the scholar's
visit was supported by the Huston endowment.
