The 8th Annual Lecture in Honor of John C. Van Horne, with Humanities Scholar Clay S. Jenkinson
Tuesday, June 7 at 5:30 pm
Hybrid Event
Benjamin Franklin Hall, American Philosophical Society, 427 Chestnut St., Philadelphia
Jenkinson will be discussing German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) and his memorable 1805 visit with Thomas Jefferson. Humboldt took a long detour in his journey from Mexico to Europe to spend a few days with Jefferson, then serving his second term as President of the United States. The visit took place precisely at the time Lewis and Clark were exploring Montana and Idaho on the president’s behalf, and Humboldt’s encounters with Jefferson are revealing and delightful. Help us celebrate Dr. John C. Van Horne’s legacy of education and scholarship by joining us at the free public lecture and book signing, pre-lecture reception, and private dinner immediately following the event.
