2010 Humanities Medals Announced

They include:

Bernard Bailyn

Jacques Barzun

Wendell Berry

Joyce Carol Oates

Gordon Wood

I wonder if this is the first time that a student (Wood) and his mentor (Bailyn) received the medal in the same year.

Of course Wood and Berry are favorites here at The Way of Improvement Leads Home.  See our coverage of Wood here and our coverage of Berry here.  Also, every now and then we talk about Bailyn, like here and here and here and here and here. 

Congratulations!
