E.G.D. Cohen, decorations for his appointment by the Queen of the
Netherlands to Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw (Knight
in the Order of the Lion of the Netherlands). The ceremony was
performed by Cora Minderhoud, Consul General of the Netherlands in
New York City, on November 17. From the citation (translated from
Dutch): “This high honor was bestowed upon you because you
can be qualified as someone who has performed activities in an
excellent manner, through which society has benefited in very
important ways. In the first place, the international top level of
your scientific achievements in statistical physics. This was
recently confirmed by the awarding of the Boltzmann medal, and also
by your contributions to the collaboration of American and Dutch
universities and institutes and the stimulation of Dutch top
investigators.” Cohen is an emeritus professor.
