...Stockholm last week a committee of Swedish doctors was deciding whether to give the 1937 Nobel Prize ($40,000) for Medicine to: 1) Biochemist Ibert Szent-Györgyi of the Hungarian University of Szeged who discovered that a certain acid (ascorbic) in the adrenal glands of healthy men and animals had the same beneficial effect as Vitamin C contained in oranges and lemons; 2) Biochemist Walter Norman Haworth of Birmingham (England) University, who analyzed the chemical structures of Vitamin C and the ascorbic acid which Professor Szent-Györgyi isolated; or 3) Biochemist Paul Karrer of the University...
...muscles and D for sturdy bones. Nutritionists, however, know that there are at least six kinds of vitamin B, eight D's, three H's and a K. Each of these should be assigned a separate letter, according to the nomenclature suggested by Casimir Funk, a Polish biochemist who in 1911 invented the word vitamin to describe these food elements essential to good health. But there are not enough letters in the English alphabet to go around. In addition to that difficulty, special students of vitamins are so bewildered by the mounting mass of facts about vitamins, that...
Advisers of the Childs Fund are to be: Yale's Medicine Dean Stanhope Bayne-Jones, a bacteriologist and Rockefeller Foundation protege; his predecessor as dean, Pathologist Milton Charles Winternitz, who at the American Medical convention announced new discoveries about the hardening of arteries; Rudolph John Anderson, biochemist; Dr. Ross Granville Harrison, biologist who began the artificial cultivation of living tissues, for which the Rockefeller Institute's Alexis Carrel is more famed; Rockefeller Institute's Francis Peyton Rous. whose discovery of a type of cancer (Rous's sarcoma) which can be transplanted from one chicken to another...
...field of concentration suffers acutely from course deficiency. One half course, and that remarkably badly integrated, is but meagre fare for the growing biochemist. There should be at least one full course specifically covering the subject. Furthermore, this full course should include at least six hours of laboratory work a week to provide the biochemist with the specialized techniques he will inevitably need in later work...
