The Benson Lecture Series was established in honor of Donald R. Benson, a faculty member in the Iowa State University English Department from 1958 until his retirement in 1993. In both his scholarship and teaching, Benson investigated the parallel relationships among science, literature, and the visual arts. The annual lecture is supported in part by the Donald Benson Memorial Fund for Literature, Science, and the Arts.
