“Haverford left me with the ability of thinking for myself, learning for myself.” –Joseph Taylor '63, winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics and professor emeritus of physics at Princeton University
Ben Hickernell ’00 takes us further into the lives of Haverfordians profiled in the documentary “Lives That Speak.” Taylor is the fourth alum to be featured from the film.
