American Academy Announces 2004 Fellows and Foreign Honorary Members
New Class Includes Space Telescope Science Institute Director
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.: The American Academy of Arts and Sciences announces the
election of 178 new Fellows and 24 new Foreign Honorary Members to Academy
membership. The 202 men and women are world-renowned leaders in scholarship,
business, the arts, and public affairs. This year’s new Fellows and Foreign
Honorary Members include Leonore Annenberg, president of the Annenberg
Foundation; Richard C. Holbrooke, vice chairman of Perseus LLC and former
U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; Philippe de Montebello, director of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Paul S. Sarbanes, U.S. senator; Timothy E.
Wirth, president of the United Nations Foundation; Lucian Freud, visual
artist; and Guillermo Jaim-Etcheverry, president of the University of Buenos
Aires, Argentina.
Steven V.W. Beckwith, director of the Space Telescope Science Institute, is
a new member of the class of 2004. For a full list of this year’s inductees
listed by area of expertise please visit our website at
www.amacad.org/members/2004cs.htm.
“I am honored to welcome these outstanding and influential individuals to
the nation’s oldest and most illustrious learned society,” said Academy
President Patricia Meyer Spacks. “These new members have made extraordinary
contributions to their fields and disciplines through their commitment to
the advancement of scholarly and creative work in every field and
profession.”
Election to the Academy has always been one of the highest honors in the
United States. The Academy has elected as Fellows and Foreign Honorary
Members the finest minds and most influential leaders from each generation,
including George Washington and Ben Franklin in the eighteenth century,
Daniel Webster and Ralph Waldo Emerson in the nineteenth, and Albert
Einstein and Winston Churchill in the twentieth. “The American Academy is
unique among academies for its breadth and scope,” said Leslie C. Berlowitz,
the Academy’s Executive Officer. “Throughout its history, the Academy has
gathered individuals with diverse perspectives to participate in studies and
projects focusing on advancing intellectual thought and constructive action.
We know that this year’s members will continue the Academy’s tradition of
cherishing knowledge in service to society.”
The Academy was founded in 1780 by John Adams, James Bowdoin, John Hancock,
and other scholar-patriots “to cultivate every art and science which may
tend to advance the interest, honor, dignity, and happiness of a free,
independent, and virtuous people.” The unique structure of the American
Academy allows the Academy to conduct interdisciplinary studies on
international security, social policy, education, and the humanities that
draw on the range of academic and intellectual disciplines of its members.
The current membership of over 4,500 includes more than 150 Nobel laureates
and 50 Pulitzer Prize winners.
The Academy will welcome this year’s new Fellows and Foreign Honorary
Members at its annual Induction Ceremony in October at the Academy’s
headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
