The Selfridge Lecture Series
The Selfridge Lectures in Philosophy are made possible by the bequest of the late Charles W. MacFarlane, C.E. 1876, Ph.D. Freiburg 1893, LL.D. Lehigh 1922. Being deeply interested in philosophy and economics, Dr. Macfarlane left his entire estate to Lehigh University, directing that the income should be used to maintain the MacFarlane Professorship or Theoretic Economics and the Selfridge Professorship of Pure Philosophy. William Wilson Selfridge was the father of Mrs. MacFarlane. Beginning in 1984, the Department of Philosophy designated part of the income from the Selfridge Professorship as support for the Selfridge Lecture Series.
