Cameros Lectures
In addition to recordings of the University's own presidents, the University Archives holds footage of visits to campus by former or future presidents of the United States.
Jimmy Carter made at least two visits to the University. He gave the second annual Cameros Family Lecture in the Palestra on October 17, 1983. His address, entitled "Striving for a Just Society," advocated for human rights as an essential element of American foreign policy.
In addition to Jimmy Carter's appearance in 1983, the Cameros Family Lectures have featured speakers including Jeffrie G. Murray (Class of 1966, 1984); Jean Kirkpatrick (1985); David S. Broder (1986); US Senator William Cohen (1988); and former Rochester president W. Allen Wallis (1990).
