...skills that can “walk, run, climb, carry loads, resist kicks, and negotiate rough terrain,” Reid said. “[Rizzi’s] a really famous person in this area, and so I think a lot of people are excited to hear him speak,” Welsh said. The second seminar will be held on Nov. 20, but additional information, such as the issues that Chayes will address, has yet to be released. Reid and the other colloquium organizers said they anticipate that students will find the seminars beneficial...

(Meredith himself reportedly told a small group of student journalists that he was not permitted to speak at his own 2006 statue dedication; a University spokesman denies this, saying Meredith declined to speak of his own accord.)
