The next day, January 19, I was very excited to see the medal pin preparation for the award ceremony. But first I had a visit from Mike Jennings (German),Eduardo Cadava (English) and Hal Foster (Art and Archaeology) and Beatriz Colomina (Architecture) whose train was delayed. Then I met with Walter Hinderer (German) and Froma Zeitlin (Classics AND Comparative Literature AND Judaic Studies) before it was time for the award ceremony. Since the recipient was there, we improvised in the best of ways. On the way home, I met Sally Osmer who is the head of the Crisis Ministry.
