Huldah Mingledorff-Lorimer created the George Horace Lorimer Center for Print Media and the Mingledorff-Lorimer Lecture in Print Media. Her endowment supports a lecture series, which promotes the George Horace Lorimer Center for Print Media by attracting an audience of researchers, scholars, students and other patrons interested in print media.
