Deceased
| | Birth Date: | 1925 | | Death Date: | February 26, 2017 | | | | | Eugene Garfield was a pioneer in information retrieval systems and the inventor of Current Contents (1958), Index Chemicus (1960), Science Citation Index (1964), Social Sciences Citation Index (1970), and Arts and Humanities Citation Index (1975). He was an eclectic science communicator, founding publisher/editor of The Scientist, and author of over 1,000 articles and books. His annual impact factor rankings of ISI's Journal Citation Reports (1975) have promoted high journal standards worldwide. His HistCite system (1964) of algorithmic historiography now maps research topics from searches of the ISI Web of Science database of 30,000,000 articles. Modern scholarship in the sciences and the humanities relies heavily on the retrieval of information and the assessment of its impact on the thinking of others. Garfield developed the technique of Science Citation. Papers are ranked based on the number of times that they are referenced in other papers. Google is based on the same principle. Web sites are ranked in the list that is generated by the search words or phrase based on the number of times other Web sites refer to them. In their Stanford thesis that is the basis of the Google concept, Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin cited Garfield's invention of Science Citations. His invention has been a major contribution to information technology and to American and world business. Eugene Garfield died February 26, 2017, at the age of 91. | |

Deceased
| | Birth Date: | 1929 | | Death Date: | January 11, 2018 | | | | | One of the most distinguished figures in American law, Geoffrey C. Hazard, Jr., received his LL.B. from Columbia University in 1954. He was a professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Chicago, Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Hastings College of the Law, University of California. Hazard's great scholarly distinction led to his selection in 1984 to succeed the late (APS member) Herbert Wechsler as Director of the American Law Institute. At the helm of the Institute for fifteen years, Hazard orchestrated the work of the unique American law reform enterprise which, for more than three-quarters of a century, brought together leaders of the bar, the bench and the academy in long-term efforts to examine, render coherent, and appropriately "restate" major areas of legal doctrine, both substantive and procedureal. The Institute's celebrated "restatements" of the law have become grist for the mills of courts, state legislatures, and, in certain selected fields, Congress and federal agencies. In 1999 Hazard retired from the Directorship in order to resume, on a full-time basis, his own teaching and scholarly endeavors in realms in which he was preeminent: legal ethics and civil procedure. His legal scholarship was widely respected not only by his academic colleagues but by practicing lawyers and members of the judiciary as well. Geoffrey Hazard was the author of works such as Quest for Justice (1973); (with F. James, Jr., J. Leubsdorf) Civil Procedure (5th edition, 2004); Ethics in the Practice of Law (1978); (with W. Brazil, P. Rice) Managing Complex Litigation: A Practical Guide to the Use of Special Masters (1983); (with S. Koniak, R. Cramton) The Law and Ethics of Lawyering (4th edition, 2005); and (with M. Taruffo) American Civil Procedure: An Introduction (1993). He was also the editor of Law in a Changing America (1968) and (with D. Rhode) The Legal Profession: Responsibility and Regulation. A member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (1986), he was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2003. Geoffrey C. Hazard, Jr., died January 11, 2018, at the age of 88. | |

Deceased
| | Birth Date: | 1934 | | Death Date: | June 10, 2017 | | | | | Herma Hill Kay received a J.D. at the University of Chicago Law School in 1959. She was the Barbara Nachtrieb Armstrong Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, where she was Dean of the Law School from 1992-2000. Kay was only the second woman hired on the Berkeley Law faculty - when the first announced her plans to retire. But by the time Kay stepped down as dean, the student body was more than 50 percent female. That figure stood at 10 percent in 1969. "[Kay's] mentoring of women law students and young faculty opened the door to legal careers that simply did not exist before she and other women of her generation began to imagine them," wrote Berkeley emerita law professor Eleanor Swift in a 2016 article in the California Law Review. "The women law professors whom she mentored throughout her career constitute her enduring legacy to the law and to legal education." Kay's influence goes far beyond the legal academy, however. She was a driving force behind California's 1969 adoption of so-called no-fault divorce, when she sat on the state's Commission on The Family. California was the first to adopt the rule, which has since been embraced by nearly every other state. She also co-authored the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act, which provides a national standard for no-fault divorce.
She was a recipient of the Research Award from the American Bar Foundation, the Margaret Brent Women Lawyers of Distinction award of the ABA Commission on Women in the Profession, and the Marshall-Wythe Medal. She was the author (with M. West) of Text, Cases, and Materials on Sex-Based Discrimination (6th edition, 2006); and of (with D. Currie, L. Kramer and K. Roosevelt) Conflict of Laws: Cases, Comments, Questions, (7th edition, 2006). Herma Hill Kay was a recognized leader in legal education and also a productive scholar in the important fields of family law, sex-based discrimination, and conflict of laws. Except for visiting professorships elsewhere, she spent her entire 45-year career at the University of California, Berkeley. She presided over such national organizations as the Association of American Law Schools, the Trustees of the Russell Sage Foundation, and the National Order of the Coif and was a valued, long-time member of the Council of the American Law Institute. Her writings in family law won her the prestigious Research Award of the American Bar Foundation in 1990. She was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2000. Herma Hill Kay died June 10, 2017, at age 82, in Berkeley, California. | |

Deceased
| | Birth Date: | 1940 | | Death Date: | November 5, 2020 | | | | | Since arriving at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1971, Joseph J. Rishel had made his life’s work the expansion and research of the museum’s collections, the engagement with its international public, and the fulfillment of its potential to contribute to its immediate community. He served there as the Gisela and Dennis Alter Senior Curator of European Painting before 1900 and took a post at the National Gallery of Art as Samuel H. Kress Professor. Through a series of extraordinary exhibitions, including Cézanne (1995-96), The Splendor of 18th Century Rome (2000), Manet and the Sea (2003-04), The Arts in Latin America, 1492-1820 (2006-07), and Cézanne and Beyond (2009), this curator and diplomat has imagined new ways of presenting works both famous and unknown, and he has overcome immense obstacles in realizing these visions. Within the museum profession he is highly regarded for his dedication to the formation of a new generation of curators, and he has been particularly supportive of the combination of technical analysis with historical evidence in research. In Philadelphia he served as chairman of the Barnes Foundation Collection Assessment Advisory Committee.

Deceased
| | Birth Date: | 1920 | | Death Date: | November 30, 2017 | | | | | Vincent J. Scully Jr. was born in New Haven, Connecticut and attended Hillhouse High School, on the site of what would later become Morse College, where he served as master from 1969-75. For a half a century he taught hundreds of students in packed lecture halls at Yale University. Even after retiring as Sterling Professor Emeritus of the History of Art, he was one of the university's most recognized scholars and has published many articles and more than a dozen books which span a wide spectrum of subject matter. Observing early in his teaching career that urban development during the 1950s tended to destroy neighborhoods by the imposition of freeways and superblocks, Dr. Scully argued fervently that the principles of modernism are incompatible with communal values. Several of his students have gone on to become important American architects, and his influence now manifests itself in the design of many urban and suburban sites throughout the nation. Among Dr. Scully's best-known works are The Shingle Style: Architectural Theory and Design from Richardson to the Origins of Wright; Frank Lloyd Wright; The Earth, the Temple, and the Gods: Greek Sacred Architecture; Louis I. Kahn; Pueblo: Mountain, Village, Dance; The Villas of Palladio; and Architecture: the Natural and the Manmade. Vincent J. Scully died on November 30, 2017 in Lynchburg, VA at the age of 97. | |
12 | Name: | Professor Patricia J. Williams | | Institution: | Northeastern University; Columbia University | | Year Elected: | 2019 | | Class: | 5. The Arts, Professions, and Leaders in Public & Private Affairs | | Subdivision: | 504. Scholars in the Professions | | Residency: | Resident | | Living? : |
Living
| | Birth Date: | 1951 | | | | | Patricia Williams is currently James L. Dohr Professor of Law at Columbia University as well as Columnist for The Nation. She earned her J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1975. Prior to moving to Columbia, she worked in the Office of the City Attorney of Los Angeles, for the Western Center on Law and Poverty of Golden Gate University School of Law, at the City University of New York Law School at Queens College, and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Patricia Williams is a preeminent theorist of race in relation to law in modern American public life, an esteemed scholar and celebrated public intellectual. Her first book was an immediate classic, not only for her penetrating insights at the intersection of race, gender and rights consciousness, but also for her analysis of everyday life as the setting where equality’s vexed and contradictory lifeworlds matter and are worked out – if they are. She is highly regarded as a critical race theorist, feminist theorist, and civil rights scholar; her influence makes these veins of scholarship necessary and accessible to each other. She also brought a new voice to scholarship and journalism – immersed in observed experience, yielding evidence unseen in the more filtered formality of conventional academic writing. Signs of her stature include her many awards, the Reith Lectures (BBC), and her place in Columbia’s oral history archive.
Her awards include the Pioneer of Civil and Human Rights Award of the National Conference of Black Lawyers in 1990 and a MacArthur Fellowship in 2000. She is on the board of advisors at the Center of Constitutional Rights and the board of directors at the National Organization for Women. She is the author of The Alchemy of Race and Rights: Diary of a Law Professor (1991), The Rooster's Egg: On the Persistence of Prejudice (1995), and The Blind Goddess: A Reader on Race and Justice (2011). Patricia Williams was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2019. | |
