Lowell Lecturer

The appointment of John V. Kelleher '39 as this season's speaker at the Lowell Lecture series is a great honor for one so young. His talks on Irish Literature Since the Revolution will be heard by outstanding literary men in Boston. The Lowell Institute has since its foundation by John Lowell in the early 1800's, selected America's great men of letters to appear on the platform. In the past, Oliver Wendell Holmes, William Dean Howell, William James, Henry Adams, and many other famous personalities have been Lowell speakers.

A Dartmouth Senior Fellow, Kelleher has since become a Harvard Junior Fellow. He received his appointment to Harvard upon graduation from Dartmouth, and he claims the main difference between being a Dartmouth Senior Fellow and a Harvard Junior Fellow is the noise. Continuing his work on Irish Gaelic which he began during his Senior year at Dartmouth, he also teaches courses in Irish Literature at Harvard.
