"It is physically and symbolically the soul and the heart of the School," Associate Dean Ira Jackson '62 said. Fifty scheduled events have taken place to date, before a total audience of 10,000. Last fall's debate between gubernatorial candidates Francis W. Hatch '46 and Edward J. King was broadcast by radio. Jackson said the debate wouldn't have been possible at the School without the Forum. But he admitted that...
