Lubbock Lectures

The Maurice Lubbock Memorial Lecture, the Department's most prestigious showcase event, was founded in 1963 to commemorate the Hon. Maurice Fox Pitt Lubbock and to promote the study of engineering and its applications to which his career had been devoted. The lecture was intended 'for a scientific and lay audience, on engineering in relation to its environment - its industrial application, its place in society, its significance for managers, sociologists, economists and others, and its significance for education'. The inaugural lecture was given by Sir Harold Hartley, on February 28, 1964.
