For more than 50 years, the Assembly Series has brought some of the most important voices in contemporary society to campus, including the 14th Dalai Lama (above) in September 1993. The Dalai Lama is the head of state and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. The spring 2004 Assembly Series kicked off with Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Levering Lewis on Jan. 28. Other speakers this spring will include physicist Charles Falco, activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and political analyst Ann Coulter. For a schedule, go online to wupa.wustl.edu/assembly. The lectures are free and open to the public.
Washington University is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2003-04.
