The Robert C. Vance Distinguished Lecture Series at Central Connecticut State University was established in 1983. Through 2013, 23 lectures〔"Rudolph Giuliani Delivers Vance Lecutre" (2013, May). ( ''Central Courier, 38'' )(4), p. 2. Retrieved on 2013-5-29.〕 have been given by well-known journalists such as Anderson Cooper, Dan Rather, and Bob Woodward, and by figures from government such as Robert Gates, Rudolph Giuliani, and Shimon Peres. Three former U.S. Presidents have also been among the lecturers in the series. The lecture series is named after Robert C. Vance, publisher of the ''New Britain Herald'' from 1951 to 1959. The original aim of the series was to bring to CCSU speakers from the field of journalism.〔Traynor, Melissa. (2010, March 29).(Steve Forbes Will Be 2010 Vance Distinguished Lecturer ). ''The Recorder''. Retrieved on 2013-5-29.〕 Newscaster David Brinkley was scheduled to give the first Vance lecture in 1983, but was replaced only days before the lecture by Benjamin Bradlee.〔"Brinkley will be filling in this week for ABC anchormen Frank Reynolds and Ted Koppel, who are ill, a CCSU spokeswoman said..." (Bradlee Replaces Brinkley. (1983, May 3). ''Hartford Courant'', p. B4B.)〕,〔James, Alayna. (2013, February 17).(Vance Series Adds to its Tradition of Distinguished Guest Speakers ). ''New Britain Herald''. Retrieved on 2013-5-29.〕 The twelve lecturers following Bradlee were well-known political figures, but since 2001, journalists have also been featured. All costs for the series are covered by the Robert C. Vance Charitable Foundation,〔Board of Trustees for the Connecticut State University System (2000, November 2). (Resolution naming the new classroom and office building at Central Connecticut State University in honor of Robert C. Vance ). Board Resolution BR#2000-89. Retrieved 2013-5-29.〕 a private foundation founded in 1958.〔see (Overview ) at the (National Center for Charitable Statistics )〕 Lectures are free to the public, although a paid reception and dinner with the lecturer is usually held before the lecture. == List of Vance Lecturers == The following twenty-four speakers have given lectures in this series. There have been twenty-three events, as William Buckley and George McGovern appeared together in 1990. Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson is among the speakers the Vance Foundation has been unsuccessful in booking.〔Carlson, Meredith.
