Flags will be lowered for Life Trustee Hugo Sonnenschein
Hugo Sonnenschein ’61, a distinguished academic leader who served on Rochester’s Board of Trustees since 1992, died on July 15. Sonnenschein, a specialist in microeconomic theory, was president of the University of Chicago, provost at Princeton, and dean at the University of Pennsylvania. At Rochester, he was a trustee from 1992 to 2017 and continued as a life trustee from 2017 until his death. He also was awarded the School of Arts & Science’s Dean’s Medal in 2011 and served on Arts, Sciences & Engineering’s National Council and as an AS&E visiting trustee. University flags will be lowered for Sonnenschein on August 10.
According to Robert Foster, a professor of anthropology and visual and cultural studies and the Richard L. Turner Professor of Humanities, many piles of clutter can be directly attributed to the human need for artistic expression. People want to create art that reflects how they see the world and themselves, but in our modern society, most people do not have jobs that allow for self-expression, says Foster. “We’re not all artists or artisans of some kind, so that work in a consumer society gets done by buying.”
