Kensall D. Wise, the William Gould Dow Distinguished University Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, will deliver a second lecture April 2. His topic will be "Integrated Sensors, MEMS, and Microsystems: Interfacing Electronics to the Non-Electronic World."

The first Distinguished University Professorships were created in 1947 to provide recipients maximum freedom to pursue scholarly and teaching efforts to contribute to U-M and the nation.

Each professorship is named for a person of distinction in the same general field as the recipient, preferably a person associated with the University.

The Record will feature Sklar and his accomplishments in the Feb. 10 issue.
