The William Barclay Parsons Lecture series was installed in 2003 with the sponsorship of Parsons Brinckerhoff. It honors the ingenuity, resolve, and engineering achievements of General William Barclay Parsons and his contributions to the advancement of the field of underground engineering and infrastructure construction in New York City. William Barclay Parsons was the Chief Engineer of the New York Rapid Transit Commission that designed and constructed the first section of the New York City Subway in 1904. The lecture series is intended to focus on the state-of-the-art topics in geotechnical engineering with a particular emphasis on tunneling and underground construction.
