'''Hollis Hurlbut''', voiced by [[Donald Sutherland]], is the head of the Springfield Historical Society in "[[Lisa the Iconoclast]]". While showing [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] around the museum, she finds a secret confession revealing that [[Jebidiah Springfield]] was a fraud. Lisa brings this to Hurlburt, who "bans her and her children and her children's children" before deciding "for three months". Later, [[Springfield|the town]] board digs up the skeleton of Springfield to prove that there is no silver tongue. Hurlburt, who pries the coffin open, finds it and pockets it before the dust can settle. Lisa eventually confronts him and decides to bring the truth forward. However, Lisa has a change of heart and keeps the truth secret. Hollis and Hurlbut are the names of two freshman dormitories at Harvard.
