The William D. Stubenbord Visiting Professorships were established in 1968 by a gift from the Louis Calder Foundation in memory of Louis Calder Sr. and Louis Calder Jr. and in recognition of the outstanding professional service and long friendship Dr. William D. Stubenbord (Class of 1931) had for them and members of their families. The departments in the College are, in rotation, host to visiting scholars.
