Historical Note
This lecture series was established in honor of John B. Magee, University of Puget Sound Professor of Philosophy and Religion. Dr. Magee was an ordained United Methodist minister, professor, author, and mentor who was one of the driving forces in establishing a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Puget Sound in 1986. In addition to the Magee address being named for him, the university also honors his work through the Magee Professorship of Science and Values.
The address focuses on either the lecturer's professional scholarly inquiry or intellectual hobbies and includes a reflection about how PBK values (e.g., broad intellectual curiosity, scholarly ethics and rigor, personal excellence, commitment to the liberal arts) have impacted the lecturer's work.
