Richard Herr spent his first ten years in Mexico, the son of an American mining engineer. After his family moved to Cincinnati, he attended Walnut Hills High School there and went to Harvard University for an A.B. in history (1943). He served in the U.S. Army Signal Intelligence Corps in Europe, 1943-45, enjoying being stationed in London and then in Paris. At the end of the war he remained in France in order to attend the Sorbonne for a year. While there he married Elena Fernández Mel, a refugee from the Spanish Civil War. They have two sons, Charles and Winship. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1966. In 1968 he married Valerie Shaw. They have two daughters, Sarah and Jane. Dr. Herr prepared a Ph.D. in history at the University of Chicago (1954). From 1952-59 he was a junior faculty member at Yale University, and after 1960 an associate and later full professor of history at the University of California, Berkeley. He retired in 1991, becoming professor of history emeritus. A specialist on the history of France and Spain in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Dr. Herr has spent a number of years in both countries. One of his works is a critical study of Alexis de Tocqueville as a historian. His early research was on the impact of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution on Spanish thought and politics. This subject led him into the evolution of Spanish agriculture at the end of the Old Regime, and he taught and wrote on the agricultural revolution in Europe. His recent work deals with the evolution of individualism and community spirit in the Western world since the eighteenth century, an outgrowth of his continuing interest in the significance of the Enlightenment. | |

Herbert E. Scarf was the Sterling Professor of Economics Emeritus at Yale University, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1963. Scarf’s most enduring legacy was an algorithm - named for him - that enables economists to evaluate how markets, companies and even households would respond to fundamental changes in tax policy or trade strategies. He received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Princeton University in 1954 and was employed at the RAND Corporation from 1954-56. In 1956 he was asked by Professors Kenneth J. Arrow and Samuel Karlin to join them at Stanford University to collaborate in the development of inventory theory. Dr. Scarf remained at Stanford until 1963, continuing to work on inventory theory and extending his interests to more general problems in mathematical economics. Over the years, he had been concerned with a variety of different applications of mathematics to economic theory, studying optimal policies for dynamic inventory problems, the stability of the classical model of economic equilibrium, the development of numerical algorithms for computing equilibrium prices and the relations between economic equilibria and cooperative n-person game theory. For a number of years, he concentrated on the detailed analysis of production in which indivisibilities (e.g., large, discrete choices) play an important role. His underlying motivation had been to incorporate into equilibrium analysis a treatment of large firms, whose size derives from the presence of economics of scale in production. Dr. Scarf was a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences and has served as Director of the Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics at Yale University; as Director of the Division of Social Sciences at Yale; and as the President of the Econometric Society. The recipient of an Honorary Degree from the University of Chicago, he won the Lanchester Prize and the von Neumann Medal of the Operations Research Society of America and was a Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association. Herbert Scarf died November 15, 2015, at the age of 85, at his home in Sag Harbor, New York. | |
