EUGENE–A May 21 reading at the University of Oregon’s Knight Library by Alexandra Villard de Borchgrave, co-author of "Villard: The Life and Times of an American Titan," has been cancelled.

The reading will be re-scheduled in the fall in conjunction with the university’s celebration of the 125th anniversary of its founding.

De Borchgrave is the great-granddaughter of Henry Villard, an early benefactor of the University of Oregon. The 416-page biography, co-written with John Cullen, was published in March by Nan A. Talese/Doubleday.
