Leah Price was awarded a Harvard College Professorship for her dedication to outstanding research, publication and excellence in teaching. "Every time I walk into a seminar," says Price, "I'm struck afresh by the same thing that excited me as a freshman: the luxury of having a group of curious, energetic, and intensely engaged people to argue with." (Harvard Gazette)

Philip Fisher was awarded a Harvard College Professorship for his dedication to outstanding research, publication and excellence in teaching. "It's hard to imagine a greater honor from the University," said Fisher. "I love teaching and have cared a lot about it. With this award the University acknowledges a side of our work that I myself consider most important." (Harvard Gazette)
