The Harry Camp Memorial Fund was established in 1956 by friends and associates of Harry
Camp. A prominent businessman and philanthropist in San Francisco, Camp was described as a
"gentle and wise humanitarian." The fund brings outstanding speakers to the University for
public lectures and promotes the study of "the concept of the dignity and the worth of the
individual." The Camp Lectures are presented every other year.
