	A linguist and Indologist, George Cardona is supremely well versed both in the modern Indo-Aryan languages and what is known as "Hindu grammar": the activities which express the ancient Indian concern for the formal properties of the Sanskrit language and their ritual and philosophical significance. During his many stays in India, he has immersed himself both in the (exceedingly difficult) written texts and in the extant oral tradition. His publications include A Gujarati Reference Grammar (1965); Studies in Indian Grammarians, I (1969); Panini, A Survey of Research (1976); Linguistic Analysis and some Indian Traditions (1983); and Panini, His Work and its Traditions (1988). A member of the University of Pennyslvania faculty since 1960, Dr. Cardona currently holds the title of Professor of Linguistics Emeritus. He is a member of the American Oriental Society (president, 1989-90) and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (1984).

	Susan Carey is Henry A. Morss, Jr. and Elizabeth W. Morss Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. Her research illuminates the development and nature of human knowledge and charts the intuitive theories that organize children's and adults' concepts of numbers, living things and the material world. Concepts are the basic units of thought. Dr. Carey has shown how children's concepts gain meaning and functional use from theories they construct about the world, starting from a few innate notions. She initiated modern experimental studies of children's understanding of numbers and counting, of physical causation, and of biology with its associated concepts of person, animal, and living thing, arguing for parallels between infants' developing concepts of number and causality and similar changes over mankind's intellectual history. She has also made seminal contributions to areas such as language acquisition, cognitive neuroscience, comparative primate cognition, and science education. Her research sheds light on children's thought and language and shows how educators can enhance the teaching of science and mathematics. Dr. Carey has been a Fulbright Fellow and William James Fellow and has been elected a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (2001) and the National Academy of Sciences (2002).

	Residency:	Resident

	Death Date:	2/9/1795

	William Carmichael (?–9 February 1795) was a diplomat and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1780. Born to a wealthy family in Maryland, Carmichael pursued a legal education in America before travelling abroad for further study and leisure. Though he was not formally appointed to a diplomatic post, Carmichael began working for Americans abroad while in Paris, carrying correspondence for diplomats like Arthur Lee and earning the trust of Benjamin Franklin. Perhaps his greatest contribution to the success of the American Revolution came between 1776 and 1777 when he convinced the Marquis de Lafayette to go to America. Carmichael himself returned to America in 1778 and served on the Committee on the Treasury for the Continental Congress. In 1779, he travelled to Spain with APS Member John Jay to garner financial support and official recognition of American independence. At Jay’s urging, the Spanish government loaned nearly $200,000 to the American cause, but King Charles III refused to formally receive Jay and Carmichael as ministers of the United States government. Jay moved on to Paris in 1782, which left Carmichael on his own. The Marquis de Lafayette arrived in Spain the following year and helped Carmichael secure an invitation to a diplomatic dinner, and eventually Carmichael was granted an introduction to King Charles III. However, resentful of his lack of official title and what he considered insufficient pay, Carmichael’s diplomatic communication faltered. He intended to return to America after he was released from his post in the fall of 1794, but fell ill and died in Madrid that winter. Though Carmichael seemed to serve the American cause, he was suspected of having divided loyalties: the British Secret Service knew of him and he recruited Captain Joseph Hynes, later revealed to be a traitor, to work for the American cause.
