The Redpath Lecture Series was established In 1989 when Nancy Redpath endowed an annual lecture series in memory of her late husband, Robert Redpath (b. 1878 – d. 12/28/87), who was a long-time trustee devoted to the mission of SOMAS.
This lecture or series is often based on a topic that would have been of special interest to Redpath, such as communications and semantics.
