Eckley, Illi-nois Wesleyan University presi-dent who heads the board of directors for the Stevenson Lec-ture series, said. The lecture series was established from contributions made following the death of Stevenson, then the U.S. am-bassador to the United Nations, July 14, 1965. Stevenson grew up in Bloom-ington and attended University High School before moving east to further his formal education. he served one term as governor of Illinois and was the Democratic party's candidate for president in 1952 and 1956. Muskie, the Democrats' vice prsidential candidate in 1968, was first scheduled to deliver the Stevenson Lecture last spring, but back surgery forced a post-ponement. Like Stevenson, Muskie became prominent on the state, national and international scenes in that order. Born in 1914 in Rumford, Me., he graduated from Bates College in 1936, received a law degree from Cornell University in 1939, was an officer in the Navy in World War II and engaged in private law practice until, in 1966, he was one of the few Democrats elected to the Maine House of Representatives. He was elected governor in 1954, was re-elected in 1956 and became Maine's first popularly elected Democratic senator in 1958. Muskie was Hubert Hum-phrey's partner in the losing presidential race against Richard Nixon in 1968. In 1972, he was the early leader for the presidential nomination but lost out to Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota. Muskie continued to serve in the Senate until President Jimmy Carter appointed him Secretary of State in April of 1980.
