Buehler-Martin Lectureship

Established in memory of Bob Buehler, member of our faculty from 1963 to 1988

Each year we invite a distinguished statistician to spend a week with us giving three lectures. One lecture is less technical and appropriate for an audience wider than just statisticians. The lecture series is endowed by his wife's family, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Martin.
