- Silliman_Memorial_Lectures abstract "The Silliman Memorial lecture series was established in 1888 in memory of Mrs. Hepsa Ely Silliman, the wife of Gold S. Silliman, the mother of Benjamin Silliman, one of the first professors of science at Yale University and the first person to fractionate petroleum. It was established from a legacy of $80,000 left in 1883 and the fund was possessed by Yale University, who publish the lectures, in 1901.The lectures are designed to illustrate thepresence and providence, the wisdom and goodness of God, asmanifested in the natural and moral world. It is thebelief of the testator that any orderly presentation of the factsof nature or history contributed to the end of this foundationmore effectively than any attempt to emphasize the elements ofdoctrine or creed; and he therefore provided that lectures ondogmatic or polemical theology should be excluded from the scopeof this foundation, and that the subjects should be selected ratherfrom the domains of natural science and history, giving specialprominence to astronomy, chemistry, geology, and anatomy.".
