Goodrich Seminar Room
Pierre Goodrich, the founder of Liberty Fund, Inc, put together a list of the most important individuals and texts which he believed had contributed most to our understanding of liberty and individual responsibility. These names are engraved on the limestone walls of the Goodrich Seminar Room in the Lilly Library at Wabash College, Indiana. These same authors and texts make up the core of the Online Library of Liberty. The list of names below give some idea of the range of interests Goodrich had.
