ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – Elizabethtown College’s Raffensperger Professor of 
Humanities Paul Gottfried was a featured speaker at a recent conference on "The Future of the Humanities in American Education" sponsored by the Ford Foundation and the Aspen Institute.
Gottfried was one of six speakers chosen to offer addresses on the humanities and their effect on American public and academic life. The series of addresses will be featured in a PBS special on the humanities in American education.
