This collection consists of 2 photographs depicting scenes related to the annual Robert J. Terry Lecture.

Typed caption on the back of the photograph reads: "At a gathering in the anatomy department before the Terry Lecture, the cast of the jawbone of the 20 million-year-old Kenyapitchecanthropus africanis is examined by Roy R. Peterson, Ph.D., associate professor; Sam L. Clark, Jr., M.D., associate professor and acting head of the department; Dr. Leakey, who discovered the bone, and Mildred Trotter, Ph.D., professor emeritus.

Typed caption on the back of the photograph reads: "The fortunate ones who both saw and heard Dr. Leakey were those who arrived well in advance of the 4:30 p.m. starting time. The earliest got seated, others crowded around the walls or sat in the aisles. Speakers were placed in the passageway to the auditorium for the overflow crowd. Those unable to push into this area disappointedly departed.
