Frances White Ewbank pioneered the study of C. S. Lewis at Taylor University. More than thirty years ago, she began to assign readings from Lewis’s works as the basis for writing assignments in an honors writing class. Her work inspired her colleagues as well as her students and ultimately led to the study of C. S. Lewis at Taylor . In 1997, David Neuhouser and the Lewis and Friends Committee decided to name the colloquium in honor of this outstanding scholar and teacher.
