receives top honor
By TIM DALY
Philip Converse, a University
'rofessor for 25 years and the
purent director of the Institute for
ocial Research, has been awarded
the University's highest honor for
*senior faculty members.
Converse was nominated to be
the 1987 Henry Russel Lecturer by
the University's Research Club.
The nomination was confirmed
unanimously by the Board of
Regents at its meeting last week.
-MATHEW Alpern, president
of the Research Club, said the
lectureship is awarded for
achievement in research. "The
P award is especially prestigious
because it covers all academic
disciplines instead of one specific
field," Alpern said.
Political science department
cbyarrnan John Kingdon said the
lectureship is awarded to a scholar
wbo stands out in his field, is
creative in research, and has an
outstanding international
reputation.
A professor of sociology and
political science, Converse is
widely known as one of the first
political scientists to apply
quantitative methods to political
science. He co-authored "The
American Voter," the first large-
scale political science study to use
quantitative methods.
THE RUSSEL Lectureship
heads a long list of Converse's
academic honors. He has received
the University's Distinguished
Faculty Achievement Award, an
honorary degree from the University
of Chicago, and fellowships from
the Guggenheim Foundation and
the Center for Advanced Study in
the Behavioral Sciences.
Converse said he was surprised
when he learned he had won the
award. "I had no idea I that I was
being considered for the lectureship.
I'm grateful to the committee for
thinking of me," he said.
Converse will deliver the Russel
Lecture in March. He has not yet
written his speech, but he said it
will cover "the working of
democratic systems."
THE RUSSEL Lecturer is
determined through an elaborate
nomination process in which a list
of candidates is narrowed down to
four or five by the Henry Russel
Lecturer Committee, composed of
former Russel Lecturers and
members of the Research Club.
The committee then votes to
determine which candidate's name is
sent to the regents.
Regent Thomas Roach (D-
Saline) said the Russel Lectureship
has always been considered one of
the most prestigious academic
awards at the University. "To
understand the significance of the
award, all you have to do is look at
some of the names of past
winners," Roach said.
Last year's Russel Lecturer was
ThomasDonahue, a professor of
Atmospheric and Oceanic Science
in the College of Engineering.
Donahue received the lectureship for
his research on the upper
atmosphere of the earth and other
planets.
Thomas Francis, a former
professor in the School of Public
Health, received the lectureship in
1954 for his work in the nationwide
testing of the polio vaccine.
