Townsend Fund - established by Mr. Townsend's widow, Daphne Townsend, in 1982. Since 1985, income from the fund has been used to support the annual visit of a distinguished scholar in the field of classics.E ach visiting scholar delivers a series of lectures, which, revised for book publication, are published by Cornell University Press in Cornell Stud- ies in ClassicalP hilology. During the semester of their residence, Townsend lecturers effectivelyb e- come members of the Cornell Department of Classicsa nd teach a course to Cornell students as well as deliver the lectures. The Townsend Lectures bring to Cornell University, and to Cornell Uni- versity Press, scholars of international reputation who are in the forefront of current classicalr esearch and whose work represents the kind of close read- ing of texts that has become associated with current literary discourse, or reflects broad interdisciplinary concerns, or both.
