FDR shortly after he left Harvard. We are so accustomed to seeing
the aged President that we often forget the vital young man
he once was.

 

The Annual FDR Memorial Lecture

Every year, the Foundation and Adams House jointly host the Annual FDR Memorial Lecture, featuring nationally known speakers on diverse range of subjects.

2008
Jean Dean, Roosevelt Biographer & Historian

2009
Doris Kearns Goodwin, Presidential Historian

2010
Curtis Roosevelt, Historian and Presidential Grandson

2011
Cynthia Koch, Director of the FDR Presidential Library and Museum

The annual lectures are followed either by a cocktail reception, or every other year, an historically themed gala dinner. As an example, the menu for the 2009 dinner, based on FDR's Sophomore Class Dinner in 1902, can be seen HERE:
