The Christie Lecture

The Christie Lecture was introduced by the Northeastern Section in 1979 to honor Dan Christie (1915-1975) of Bowdoin College. He was one of the founding fathers of the Section, serving two terms as Chair and one as Governor. He was also quite involved in the MAA on the national level.

The following is taken from Spring 1979 Newsletter: "The Christie Lecture will be given by a distinguished member of the mathematical community and is part of the annual (Fall) meeting. The topic of the lecture will be an issue of current importance in mathematics. And, although the Section is rich in people who have made contributions to research and teaching, the choice of the Christie Lecturer is not restricted to a member of the Section."
