As one result of this endowment, the Joseph Fisher Lecture was established. This year's lecturer, Professor Peter Karmel from the Australian National Univeristy, is a distinguished economist, educationalist and administrator and has been an Adelaide University Emeritus Professor since 1965. He was appointed Professor of Economics at Adelaide University at the age of 28 and built up a highly regarded Department. In 1966 he became the first Vice-Chancellor of Flinders University. The lecture takes place at Lecture Room 102, Napier Building.
Admission is free, and all are welcome.
