"Contrariwise," continued Tweedledee, "if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic." - From Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass. Quoted by Professor Moshe Vardi, October 31, 2005 lecture on "And Logic Begat Computer Science: When Giants Roamed the Earth."

We are pleased to present this archived collection of our main lecture series: distinguished academic lectures; distinguished entrepreneur lectures; Donald B. Gillies Memorial Lectures; and Conference Lectures. This video collection presents a rich treasure trove of thoughtful reflections from the remarkable academics, entrepreneurs, writers, and pivotal computer science figures who have graced our lecture halls since 1998.
