The Hardigg Family Fund supports the annual visit to Dartmouth College of a scholar designated as the Hardigg Fellow to REL 85, which is the culminating experience of the Religion major. "REL 85 Senior Colloquium," is a special winter term course, required of all senior Religion majors, convened by Religion faculty member(s) who will guide the selection of topics and grade the essays. The course features as a guest speaker, the Hardigg Fellow, an author whose book is being read as part of the course.The Hardigg Fellow meets with students in class to discuss his or her work and also engages with students more informally in conversations outside of class. The Fellow also presents a public lecture in conjunction with their visit to campus. 

The Hardigg Family Fund was established by James S. Hardigg '44.
