Professor Jacqueline B. Lewis was a mathematician and former Dean of Rutgers' University College in New Brunswick who died in 1982 after a career spanning nearly 20 years at Rutgers. She served as an Associate Dean of University College from 1974 to 1978 and as Vice Dean of the school from 1978 to 1981, when she was appointed Dean. She also served as Acting Dean of the Faculty of Professional Studies from June 1981 to September 1982. The lectures were endowed in 1983 by a gift from Dean Lewis' aunt, Lillian Nassau.
