| Summary: | T. Walter Herbert, Minister to graduate students for the University of California in Berkeley, spoke at 9:15am on Thursday, February 17, 1966 as part of ACOIA 1966 on the topic of radical dissent, freedom of speech, and college campuses. The lecture was part of the three-day Auburn Conference on International Affairs (ACOIA) in which speakers discussed the theme of "Subversion in the Sixties." ACOIA was a regional conference, originally sponsored by the Auburn University Student Senate, on international affairs and social issues. Each conference focused on a specific theme and typically featured 5-10 speakers over a two- to three-day period. Circa 1970, the conference's format was changed to a series of speeches over a two- to three-month period; around the same time, the conference's purview was expanded to include domestic issues. In that connection, the conference's name was changed from "Auburn Conference on International Affairs" to "Horizons" in 1971. The Horizons lectures were organized by students on the Horizons Committee of the University Program Council (UPC) in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Title supplied by metadata creator.
