David Hall (1714–24 December 1777) was a printer and publisher, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1768. Born near Edinburgh, Scotland, he spent his youth as a printer’s apprentice and worked in London before accepting Benjamin Franklin’s offer of employment in Philadelphia in 1743. Impressed with his work, Franklin made Hall a partner in 1748. Theirs was a mutually beneficial arrangement that endured for eighteen years and included the publication of Poor Richard’s Almanac. Afterwards Hall opened his own firm, taking over publication of Franklin’s Pennsylvania Gazette and printing texts and paper money for the Pennsylvania government. His success as a printer provided an entrée into Philadelphia society. He supported ventures such as the Union Library Company, the Silk Society, and the College of Philadelphia. The lead-up to the American Revolution brought certain difficulties. In 1765 Hall watched his subscriptions decline precipitously after he refused to print “spirited letters” attacking the Stamp Act. The following year, Hall’s long-standing political moderation led the anti-proprietary party to replace him as its printer. His death in 1772 saddened his friend and former business partner Franklin.

Bertrand Halperin is a theoretical physicist of great distinction who has made fundamental contributions to almost every facet of present-day condensed matter physics. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley and is currently Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Harvard University. Dr. Halperin's research interests include many aspects of the theory of condensed matter systems and statistical physics. A major portion of his current research involves the theory of electron states and transport in small particles of a metal or semiconductor. Much of this work has been motivated by experiments carried out in various laboratories at Harvard. Dr. Halperin is Scientific Director of the Harvard Center for Imaging and Mesoscale Systems, which encourages interdisciplinary research and education in this area. Another major portion of Dr. Halperin's work concerns properties of two-dimensional electron systems at low temperatures in strong magnetic fields, or "quantum Hall systems". Experiments on these systems, since 1980, have revealed a succession of very surprising phenomena, which have required the introduction of a number of new theoretical methods for their explanation. Dr. Halperin has been involved in the development of several of these methods. A number of very puzzling experimental results still exist in this field, particularly in experiments involving bi-layer systems, which remain a challenge to theoretical understanding. Dr. Halperin's other current interests include superconductivity, transport in inhomogeneous systems, and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments in porous media. Previous research interests have included quantum antiferromagnets in one and two dimensions, low-temperature properties of glasses, melting and other phase transitions in two-dimensional systems, and the theory of dynamic phenomena near a phase transition. Before joining the Harvard faculty in 1969, Dr. Halperin worked as a member of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories and served as an NSF postdoctoral fellow at the University of Paris. Dr. Halperin is the recipient of the American Physical Society's 1982 Oliver E. Buckley Prize and its 2019 Medal for Exceptional Achievement. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Bertrand Halperin was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1990.
