Dwight H. Terry Lectureship

The 1905 deed of gift establishing the lectureship states: Although commitment to the gift was made in 1905 it did not mature until 1923, which is when the first Terry lectures were held. ==Lecture format==

The lectures are free and open to the public. A single installment generally consists of four lectures by the same visiting scholar, given over the course of a month or less. Many of the lectures have been edited into books published by the Yale University Press, and remain in print to this day (see below). From 1999 to 2009 the lectures were recorded and posted on the Terry Lectures website as audio and/or video streams. Starting in 2008, recordings of the lectures have been made available via Yale's YouTube channel. ==Past lectureship holders==
