The
prestigious lecture series is named
after Dr Gerald Walters, who was the first Reader in the
Humanities at the University and established a reputation
for himself for both his scholarship and political achievements.
He is credited with bringing recognition across the University of
the value of understanding the nature of society in a largely
scientific and technological institution. After his sudden death
at an early age in 1970, the University established the Gerald
Walters Memorial Lecture as the first public lecture series
following the granting of the University's charter in 1966
and its arrival to Bath.
