The Crosley Lecture
The Crosley Lecture in Ethics has been given since 1984. The purpose of the lecture series is to bring distinguished scholars to the University of New England to address ethical issues in contemporary life.
The UNE Crosley Lecture is an annual endowed lecture created to honor the Rev. Marion Crosley and his wife, Mehitable Adelia Swift Crosley. The Rev. Crosley was a Universalist minister who lived in Portland from 1885 to 1889 and served on the board of the Westbrook Seminary, which later became Westbrook College, which merged with the University of New England in 1996.
Over the past 19 years, the Crosley Lecture Series has stimulated students, faculty and other members of the Maine community to think about topics in ethics such as a world-wide ethical system, corporate conscience, genetic engineering, patients' rights and physician-assisted suicide.
