Discovery. Says Chemist Reuben G. Gustavson, former chancellor of the University of Nebraska: "Twenty-eight years of teaching [college] science gave me the most fun I have ever had. It is fun to help students discover facts and laws unknown to them. [But] it does not take long before student and teacher have walked together out to the frontier of knowledge-a fine comradeship between an older and a younger generation. Each new generation of young scientists gets its happiness by explaining what was inscrutable to the previous generation...

Secret of Insulin. Led by a man thumping a small drum, a joyful group gathered in a Cambridge University lab to celebrate with champagne when word came that this year's chemistry prize had gone to British Chemist Frederick Sanger. A fellow at King's College, Sanger is attacking the mystery of life from another chemical angle. In 1954 Sanger announced that after ten years of work, he and a small group of colleagues had determined the structure of the insulin molecule. Their achievement did not result in cheaper or better insulin for the world's diabetics...
