Some Public Remarks about Henry Kyburg as a Thesis Advisor, on the Occasion of his Graduate Education Lifetime Achievement Award: Henry is the rare professor who is both an excellent scholar and an excellent advisor. Henry Kyburg's work on theory formation and epistemology answered so many questions for me in such a satisfactory way that I could move forward to address new questions of my own. Without his writings, I would have been lost to the puzzles of probability and inference like so many of my colleagues, and wandered aimlessly without any real understanding. Whenever I encounter a person who has trouble with the intertwining of logic, language, and belief, I tell that person to read Henry's works, especially his later ones. Some might joke that Henry Kyburg put his dogs ahead of his doctoral students. Indeed, during a meeting, one had to make sure that the Bernese was not getting half the attention. But now that I have a dog, I put her ahead of my students, too. To be a doctoral student of Henry was to be part of the family farm. While some advisees have talked about working in the barn, what I remember was the pastoral retreat of a gentleman scholar: a stereo always ready to play Mozart's Zauberflöte, a kitchen garden redolent of Provence, a dinner table for the discussion of aesthetics like you find in the movies, a warm bed on a cold night, and an intelligent sustainable life that now so many of us find ideal. How he emerged from that farmhouse in his crisp blue pinfeather summer suit will always be a mystery to me. Henry of course was a father figure. It took me many years to separate myself from his grand intellectual themes and find a few of my own. When I had succeeded, I found that I was addressing my new problems with the kind of approach he taught. So I wonder why I ever thought it so important to leave the fold. If you look at Henry's position in his intellectual tree, descending from Morris Cohen and Ernest Nagel, you can see Economics giant Kenneth Arrow in the generation above him, his "uncle," and a line of Harvard professors descending from his "sibling," Morton White. Patrick Suppes of Stanford sits to the left, and Columbia J. Phil. editors sandwich him. Still, Kyburg's tree is the place to be, especially if you include the influences he had on undergraduates Dan Dennett, Bob Stalnaker, Rich Thomason, and Teddy Seidenfeld. Henry's was not a household name in academia, but if you told one of the household names that you were Henry Kyburg's student, you would always get attention and respect. Henry always thought the Guggenheim award made him look good. But the truth is that his association made the Guggenheim award look good. I recently reached one of my academic goals -- to lecture at the Sorbonne in Paris, albeit in vulgar English. I remember when Henry used to lecture in France -- he would actually spend a day reminiscing on his rusty old Yale instruction and proceed to deliver his paper in high French.
