Accompanied by his extended family, Bauer traveled to Ithaca for the event and personally delivered a 16-minute address. This was followed by remarks by his former Ph.D. student Ben Widom, Goldwin Smith Professor Emeritus, who reviewed some highlights of Bauer’s distinguished career in science. Professor Emeritus Harold A. Scheraga delivered the after dinner speech. Running time 61 minutes.
