The Russell C. Leffingwell Lecture, inaugurated in 1969, was named for a charter member of the Council who served as its President from 1944 to 1946 and as its Chairman from 1946 to 1953. This lecture is given by a distinguished foreign official who is invited to address Council members on a topic of major international significance. The lectures are made possible through the generosity of the Leffingwell family and the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company. The endowment for the lectureship was later strengthened through the generosity of Thomas Leffingwell Pulling and his son Edward Leffingwell Pulling.
