“The Surprising Uses of Sociology: A Conversation with Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan” will be the topic of the Phi Beta Kappa Fall 2001 Lecture at Syracuse University Nov. 13. Moynihan, retired U.S. senator who is now a University Professor in the Maxwell School, will speak at 4:30 p.m. in Room 104 of Winifred MacNaughton Hall. The lecture is open to the University community and the general public.

The chapter, which annually elects to its membership top Syracuse University students in areas of traditional liberal arts and sciences, sponsors the fall lecture and brings Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholars or Phi Beta Lecture Associates to campus during the spring semester.
