Goldberg at Purdue University in 1998. The lecture series was organized by Robert J. Frosch, Nancy L. Gavlin and Mete A. Sozen with the sponsorship of the Goldberg Family, Bryan A. Erler, Purdue University School of Civil Engineering, the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois and the Structural Engineers Foundation. The lectures were also collected into a book named &quot;Engineering in the City of the Century: A Celebration of Structural Engineering Achievements in 20th Century Chicago&quot; by Mete A. Sozen. The lectures included in the dataset are presented in the table below.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="col span3"&gt; &lt;table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 873px"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 682px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lectures&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 180px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Speakers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 682px"&gt;The Evolution of the Skyscraper: The History of the Tall Building in Chicago&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 180px"&gt;C.
