In addition he presented "Shared Traditions in Southern History and Culture," an address on July 8 to a gathering of former holders of Fulbright Fellowships for study or research in the United States. The lecture was sponsored by the United States-New Zealand Educational Foundation, which is the New Zealand-based agency of the Fulbright Program. Previous lecturers in this series include C.
