	Caryl Emerson received her Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in 1980. She was assistant and associate professor of Russian literature at Cornell University from 1980-87. In 1988 she became the A. Watson Armour III University Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton University, a position she currently holds. Caryl Emerson is widely regarded within the academic profession as the pre-eminent Slavist of her generation. She has also won a large readership outside the university as a prolific contributor to the popular press, reviewing many books for the New Republic, Opera News, New York Times Book Review, etc., and contributing program essays on Russian opera to Stagebill. Her public-spiritedness comes through in her list of conference appearances (ca. 10 a year) on Bakhtin, and she is chiefly responsible for his current vogue. In addition to the books listed below, she has published 70 articles. In 1997 she received the Howard T. Behrman Award for Distinguished Achievement in the Humanities. Dr. Emerson is the author of The Life of Musorgsky (1999); The First Hundred Years of Mikhail Bakhtin (1997); (with R.W. Oldani) Modest Musorgsky and Boris Godunov: Myths, Realities, Reconsiderations (1994); (with W. Morson) Mikhail Bakhtin: Creation of a Prosaics (1990); Boris Godunov: Transpositions of a Russian Theme (1986); and editor of Rethinking Bakhtin: Extensions and Challenges, (1989). She has been the general editor of the monograph series "Studies in Russian Literature and Theory" at Northwestern University Press since 1992. She has served on the editorial boards of Comparative Literature; Literary Imagination; Russian Review; Slavic and East European Journal; and Tolstoy Studies Journal. She was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2003.

1180	Name:	Cadwalader Evans
	Year Elected:
	Residency:	Resident
	Living? :	Deceased
	Birth Date:	1716
	Death Date:	6/30/1773

	Cadwalader Evans (1716–30 June 1773) was a physician and educator, and a member of the American Philosophical Society. Elected to the American Society in 1768, he refused election to the APS for political reasons that same year but then served on the committee that oversaw the two institutions’ unification in 1769. Born in Gwynedd, near Philadelphia, he was a friend and correspondent of Benjamin Franklin and a supporter of the anti-proprietary party. He studied medicine under founder APS Thomas Bond, Sr., before sailing to England in 1748, presumably to attend Edinburgh University. His ship was captured by a Spanish privateer, however, and he was taken to La Española (modern Haiti) where he contracted a severe fever. He was eventually permitted to travel to nearby Jamaica where a community of Quakers convinced him to settle. In 1753 he finally arrived in Britain, where he witnessed electrical experiments by Franklin. Neglecting to take a degree at Edinburgh, Evans returned to Philadelphia in 1756 and, three years later, was appointed a physician of the Pennsylvania Hospital. There, he successfully proposed that student fees (usually paid to hospital managers) be used to purchase books for a proposed library, which would become the largest medical library in the antebellum U.S. During this time he also served as a physician to the Almshouse and practiced privately, attending patients alongside APS member Dr. John Redman. Encouraged by Franklin, Evans was a founding member of the Society for Encouraging the Culture of Silk. He was also a member of the Union Library Company and the Library Company of Philadelphia. Late in life, he formed a medical partnership with his kinsman Dr. Thomas Parke and recommended his former apprentice James Hutchinson for the post of Hospital apothecary; both were APS members, as was his brother Rowland Evans.
