THE MORRIS LECTURE IN INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW
The Henry C. Morris Lecture in International and Comparative
Law brings speakers from around the world to discuss current
developments in international law. The Morris Lecture was endowed
by Henry Crittenden Morris (1863-1948), an 1889 graduate of the
law school.
A diplomat and international lawyer, Mr. Morris served as the
United States Consul in Ghent, Belgium, and as secretary to Chief
Justice Fuller at the Permanent International Court of The Hague.
Mr. Morris' diplomatic service overseas spanned the twenty-five
years before the outbreak of the First World War. He was a member
of the board of the Library
of International Relations, the collection of international
and comparative law materials which is now housed at the law school.
