<p>American</a> Academy of Arts & Sciences 2010 Class of New Members
2010</a> List of New Members</p>

<p>“Founded in 1780, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is an independent policy research center that conducts multidisciplinary studies of complex and emerging problems. The Academy’s elected members are leaders in the academic disciplines, the arts, business, and public affairs.”</p>

<p>Election to the American Academy is one of the greatest honors a university scholar can receive.</p>

<p>This year, Princeton had the second highest number of newly-elected members among all universities. Because Princeton is an institution that focuses on the arts and sciences and does not have professional schools of medicine, law or business, its nine newly-elected members constitute an especially impressive number. When excluding these professional schools, Princeton tied with Harvard and Berkeley for the highest number of newly-elected members in the nation. Among the leading institutions, Princeton and the U. of Chicago are also notable for having fewer faculty members, making their numbers even more impressive.</p>
