Martin Lecture Series
            
            
            Overview
            
            When Raymond Castle retired in 1994, the Castle lecture series was terminated, and
               was replaced in a limited way by the Barbara and Dean Martin Seminar Series. These
               lectures, too, were designed to provide an opportunity for a diverse group of outstanding
               persons. At the outset, a guarantee of funding for five years was promised, but the
               program was successful and continued beyond the five-year program. The committee has
               made a Endowed Lecture committee of the department.
