THE SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS
Members who have moved into the new building are very enthusiastic about
their offices.
ENRICO BOMBIERI was nominated "Chevaher de I'ordre des Palmes Acade-
miques," after ending a three-year period in an international advising committee

LANDS was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and was granted an
honorary Doctor of Science degree at the University of Toronto. In January,
LUIS CAFFARELLI delivered the Colloquium Lectures at the annual meeting
of the American Mathematical Society in San Antonio on "Nonlinear Differential
Equations and Lagrangian Coordinates." In the Fall of 1992 ARMAND BOREL
received the International E. Balzan Prize for his "fundamental contributions to
the theory of Lie groups, algebraic groups and arithmetic groups." The Balzan
prize is offered in the physical, mathematical and natural sciences as well as for
literature and humanity. Borel retires at the end of this year. Over the past 36
years he has made great contributions to the intellectual life of our School and
to that of the Institute as a whole.
