<p>Personally, I think every institution that supported and encouraged and benefited from Tom Schelling should celebrate this long overdue recognition!</p>
<p>Harvard was closed yesterday (observing the Columbus Day holiday), so perhaps that’s why there’s nothing up on their official website yet.</p>
<p>At least the Harvard Crimson (student newspaper) did a nice piece in today’s paper giving an account of Tom Schelling’s contributions–he spent 30 years of his career there, has held emeritus status since his retirement, and still has close ties to his former colleagues. Unfortunately, their copyeditor didn’t catch some typos (his last name isn’t spelled consistently correctly in the piece), but they did get the most important facts right–he is remarkable for his kind and generous spirit as well as his brilliance. </p>
