Vendler's lecture, entitled "The Ocean, the Bird, and the Scholar," used a number of poems by Wallace Stevens to argue for the role of the arts (as opposed to history and philosophy) in the study of humanities.

19．Timken University Professorship
Irwin Shapiro，天体物理学家

Irwin Shapiro was born in New York City. After graduating from Brooklyn Technical High School, Shapiro did an undergraduate in mathematics at Cornell University, and a master's and PhD in physics at Harvard University. Shapiro joined MIT Lincoln Laboratory in 1954 and became a professor of physics at MIT in 1967. In 1982, Shapiro became a professor at Harvard University and also director of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Irwin won the Charles A. Whitten Medal from the American Geophysical Union in 1991. In 1997, he became the First Timken University Professor.

Shapiro's research includes using gravitational lenses to assess the age of the universe.

20．Robert Walmsley University Professor
Frank Michelman，法学家

Frank Michelman is a Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School. He wrote the famous law review article, Property, Utility and Fairness, (80 Harv. L. Rev. 1165 (1967)) on the economic reasons for just compensation in the 5th Amendment Takings clause to the United States Constitution. This article was cited by the majority in its opinion in Penn Central v. New York City, the Supreme Court case that dealt with the authority of a local New York City landmark law that forbade the railroad company from putting up a skyscraper above the historic Grand Central Terminal structure. Michelman's analysis relies on uating whether the nuisance costs and value to society were worth it.

Michelman served as Vice-President of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy 1994-96 and as its President, 1998-2001.
