The founding of the Center was formally announced on September 16, 1964 in a Inside press release from the University indicating that: “A new center that will sponsor graduate instruction[,] research and related field work in Latin American affairs has •Page 6—Latin American Social and been established at the University of Pittsburgh.

  • Year in Review
    Year in Review 2005-06 Annual Report Center for Latin American Studies University Center for International Studies University of Pittsburgh 2005-06 Year in Review Message from the Acting Director This has been an extraordinary year for the Center for Latin American Studies. It has been a year of continuation and, yet, of transition; one of wonderful gains and of saddening losses; a year that has provided the stimulus for renewal—and yet a renewal that remains anchored in the foundation of our long-term success and our vision of excellence. While I will offer some brief highlights in my comments below, in the pages of this report you will find the core elements of the aforementioned factors—reflected in the changes, achieve- ments, and contributions of the faculty and students associated with the Center for Latin American Studies. In regard to both continuation and significant gains, I am delighted to say that the Center was once again named a National Resource Center (NRC) by the U.S. Department of Edu- cation. We have enjoyed this distinction since 1979—and our particular excellence contin- ues to be recognized since only 18 Latin American NRCs were funded. We legitimately stand tall in the company of Latin American centers at Berkeley, Harvard, Yale, Texas, UCLA, Michigan, and other prestigious universities. Not only that, but the grant also funds eight academic year Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships (distinguished awards for graduate study) for 2006-07 for CLAS—the largest number in our history. Yet, this continuation of funding for four more years at higher levels and the accompanying recognition also represents a transition because, for the first time since 1983, our proposal was submitted independently rather than jointly as part of a consortium with Cornell University.

Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1995 NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON D.C. HAROLD CLAYTON UREY April 29, 1893–January 5, 1981 BY JAMES R. ARNOLD, JACOB BIGELEISEN, AND CLYDE A. HUTCHISON JR. AROLD UREY WAS A SCIENTIST whose interests, accomplish- Hments, and influence spanned the disciplines of chem- istry, astronomy, astrophysics, geology, geophysics, and biol- ogy. Although he was meticulous in his attention to detail, his sights were always on broad questions at the forefront of knowledge. His unusual powers of concentration and capacity for hard work accounted for much of his success in exploring and opening up major new fields of research, including his discovery of deuterium and work on isotope chemistry, isotope separation, isotope geology, and cosmo- chemistry. Urey’s approach to a new area began with his becoming thoroughly familiar with what was known about the subject of his curiosity and then the formulation of a theory to explain a large amount of uncorrelated material, which was then followed by carefully planned experiments. The latter frequently involved the design of new experi- mental equipment beyond the state of the art.
