A President of the Harvard Law Review, Vincent McKusick, upon graduation, served as law clerk to Judge Learned Hand and to Justice Felix Frankfurter.
In 1952 Vincent McKusick joined the Portland, Maine firm of Hutchinson, Pierce Atwood & Scribner. For twenty-five years he engaged in a broad general practice with emphasis on appellate, corporate, and public utility matters. He also worked to modernize the rules of procedure for the Maine courts and co-authored two editions of the classic work on Maine Civil Practice. He was appointed Chief Justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court in 1977, the only such appointment directly from the bar since the appointment of Maine's first Chief Justice in 1820. Chief Justice McKusick had responsibility for managing Maine's entire court system as well as presiding over its highest appellate court. His fourteen and one-half years as Chief Justice were marked by significant improvement in the structure and operation of all courts.

Following his voluntary retirement from the Court in 1992, Judge McKusick returned "of counsel" to his firm, now Pierce Atwood.

The 2002 recipient of the Society's Henry Allen Moe Prize in the Humanities is Thomas Noel Mitchell, Provost Emeritus of Trinity College, Dublin, in recognition of his paper "Roman Republicanism: The Underrated Legacy," delivered at the symposium "Rome: The Tide of Influence" on April 28, 2000, and published in our Proceedings in June 2001. Proceeding from a study of Cicero's De Republica and De Legibus, Dr. Mitchell shows that when Cicero seeks the specific principles of justice about which rightminded people could be expected to agree, he no longer looks to Greek philosophy to point the way, but focuses firmly on Roman experience. The departure from Plato and Aristotle and the dependence on Roman statutory law and custom are clearly demonstrated, as are the many ways in which the Roman system and Cicero's exposition of its theoretical foundations identified all the key ideas that later formed the heart of liberal theory from the seventeenth century to the nineteenth and helped to shape the views of the framers of the American Constitution. Dr. Mitchell received a B.A. and M.A. at University College, Galway, with First Class Honors, and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1966. He was a professor of Classics at Swarthmore College until 1979 when he moved back to Ireland as professor of Latin at Trinity College, Dublin. In 1991 he was appointed Provost of Trinity College, a post he held until his retirement last year. He is the author of three major books: Cicero, the Ascending Years (1979), a study of Cicero's early life and analysis of the workings of personal relations and of factionalism in Roman politics; Cicero: Verrines II.1 (1986), a text and translation of one of Cicero's greatest speeches and an extended commentary analyzing Ciceronian prose and the rhetorical precepts and techniques that shaped his oratory; and Cicero, the Senior Statesman (1990), a study of Cicero's later life and the events that led to the dramatic collapse of the Roman Republic. Professor Mitchell is author of more than two dozen articles in international journals on various aspects of Roman political and social history and Roman constitutional law. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1996. | |

In January 2008 he announced that he would retire at the end of the year and assume a professorship at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. As the first Fiske Kimball Professor in the History and Culture of Museums, he will teach while also advising the university on its plan for a new overseas campus in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Mr. de Montebello attended French schools before graduating from Harvard University in 1958 with a B.A. degree in the history of art. After serving as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow, he received an advanced degree from New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. With the exception of four and one half years spent as the Director of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, his career evolved at the Metropolitan Museum. Under Mr. de Montebello's leadership, the Museum has nearly doubled in size and is today the world's most encyclopedic art museum. Its permanent collections - housed in 17 curatorial departments - embrace some two million works of art spanning 5,000 years of world culture, from prehistory to the present. During Mr. de Montebello's tenure, the Metropolitan has focused much of its resources on reinstalling, conserving, and publishing its permanent collection, while also pursuing an active acquisition program through purchase. And, to the five million people who visit the Museum each year, it is his familiar voice that guides visitors in special exhibitions and installations through the audio guides that he has narrated throughout his tenure as Director. Mr. de Montebello has been awarded several honors, including Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1991, the 2002 Blérancourt Prize for his contributions to the cultural bond between France and America, and was one of eight 2009 National Humanities Medalists. Mr. de Montebello was elected to membership in the American Philosophical Society in 2001. In 2014 he collaborated with Marting Gayford to write Rendez-vous with Art. | |
