Literary scholar Martin de Riquer was born in Spain in 1914. Author of numerous articles in professional journals, he has long been regarded as one of the most productive and brilliant Spanish literary scholars and philologists. In his prodigious and consistently splendid scholarship, he tirelessly explored and significantly illuminated almost every facet and genre of the medieval and Renaissance literatures of Spain, France, Catalonia and Provence, with important excursions into Italian literature and the history of medieval architecture in Spain as well. His works are characterized by originality, great erudition and true stylistic elegance. Dr. de Riquer was a member of the Real Academia Espanola and had served as president of the Real Academia de Buenas Letras of Barcelona. He died September 17, 2013, at the age of 99 in Barcelona, Spain. | |

Research physicist John R. Schrieffer performed fundamental studies in solid state and low temperature properties of matter, including superconductivity and electromagnetism. With John Bardeen and Leon Neil Cooper he shared the 1972 Nobel Prize for developing the BCS theory, the first successful microscopic theory of superconductivity. After receiving a Ph.D. in 1957 from the University of Illinois, Dr. Schrieffer taught at the University of Chicago (1957-60), the University of Illinois (1959-62), the University of Pennsylvania (1962-80) and the University of California, Santa Barbara (1980-92). From 1992 until 2006 he served as Chief Scientist at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Eminent Scholar Professor at Florida State University, where he has pursued the study of room temperature superconductivity. Dr. Schrieffer was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the author of the BCS theory book Theory of Superconductivity (1964). He died July 27, 2019 in Tallahassee, Florida at the age of 88. | |

British physiologist and biophysicist Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley won the 1963 Nobel Prize for his work with Alan Lloyd Hodgkin on the basis of nerve action potentials, the electrical impulses that enable the activity of an organism to be coordinated by a central nervous system. The pair's findings led them to hypothesize the existence of ion channels, which was confirmed decades later. They were also among the earliest applicants of a technique of electrophysiology known as the voltage clamp. In addition, Sir Andrew contributed to sensory physiology and conducted important theoretical and experimental research on muscle contraction. Sir Andrew served as Jordell Professor and Head of the Department of Physiology at University College, London (1960-69); Royal Society Research Fellow (1969-83); President of the Royal Society (1980-85); and Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. He was elected to the Royal Society of London in 1955, knighted in 1974 and appointed to the Order of Merit in 1983. He was elected an international member of the American Philosophical Society in 1975. He died on May 30, 2012, at the age of 94 in Cambridge, England. | |

Calvert Watkins was Victor S. Thomas Professor of Linguistics and the Classics, Emeritus at Harvard University and Professor-in-Residence, Department of Classics and Program in Indo-European Studies, at the University of California, Los Angeles at the time of his death on March 20, 2013 at the age of 80. He was interested in the linguistics and the poetics of all the earlier Indo-European languges and societies, particularly Greek, Latin and Italic, Celtic (especially Early Irish), Anatolian (especially Hittite and Luvian), Vedic Indic, and Old Iranian; historical linguistic theory and method; and Indo-European genetic comparative literature. His last book, which treats all these interests, is How to Kill a Dragon: Aspects of Indo-European Poetics (1995), which was awarded the Goodwin Prize in 1998. Dr. Watkins's other works include Indo-European Origins of the Celtic Verb I. The Sigmatic Aorist (1962); The American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots (1985, revised 2000); and the "Historical linguistics and culture history," "Indo-European languages," and "Stylistic reconstruction" entries in the Oxford International Encyclopedia of Linguistics. He also served as editor of Studies in Memory of Warren Cowgill (1987) and has written over 150 articles and reviews, 53 of which are reprinted in the two volumes of his Selected Writings, edited by Lisi Oliver (1994), ranging from "Indo-European metrics and Archaic Irish verse" to "The language of the Trojans". Dr. Watkins served as president of the Linguistic Society of America (1988) and as chair of Harvard University's Department of Linguistics for eleven years from 1985-91. He was an Honorary Member of the Royal Irish Academy (1968), a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (1973) and a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy (1987) and the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. | |
