In summer 2012, long time friend of Classics Dr. Celia M. Fountain made a very generous planned gift to endow an annual series of Classics Department lectures and symposia. These are designed to contribute to the intellectual life of the department and of the larger community here in Boulder. Celia’s generosity allowed us to attract top international scholars to come to ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä and share their ideas on this pivotal figure in world history.
