Bergeron's book, Voice Lessons: French Mélodie in the Belle Epoque (Oxford UP, 2010) won the prestigious Otto Kinkeldey prize in 2011. (Otto Kinkeldey, 1878–1966, held the first chair in musicology at a American university, at Cornell, 1930–46; was a charter member of the American Musicological Society Society; and served as its president, 1935–36 and 1941–42.)
Her colleagues in musicology salute President-designate Bergeron and wish her well. We note that she joins at least two other musicologists who have served as college presidents (Leon Botstein, president of Bard College; and Don M. Randel, past president of the University of Chicago, 2000–05, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, 2006–13)—and dozens who serve or have served American arts and letters as academic deans.
