Presidential Lecture Series events scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at Kansas University’s Dole Institute of Politics have been postponed.

Presidential historian and former Dole Institute director Richard Norton Smith was scheduled to speak both nights, but his flight from Michigan, where he lives, was canceled because of bad weather, according to Dole Institute spokeswoman Makayla Hipke.

She said the Dole Institute has rescheduled the lectures for 7 p.m. April 25 and April 26 at the Dole Institute, 2350 Petefish Drive.

The lectures, part of the Presidential Lecture Series titled “They Also Ran: America’s Would-Be Presidents,” are “Influence in Defeat,” focusing on the campaigns of Adlai Stevenson and Barry Goldwater, and “The Contemporary Midwesterners,” examining native Midwestern candidates Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern and Robert Dole.
