Among the Nobel Prize winners speaking in the Biological and Physical Science symposia were Arthur Holly Compton in physics and Karl Landsteiner and Frederick Gowland Hopkins in medicine. Professor Compton, who is 44 years old, is one of the world's leading authorities on cosmic rays. After being a National Research Fellow in 1919, he became an instructor at Minnesota, research physicist with the Westinghouse Electric Co., and head of the Department of Physics at Washington University. Since 1923 he has been Professor of Physics at the University of Chicago, and has traveled extensively around the world in pursuit...

British scientists are awake to the charge that they are throwing men out of work by inventing too many new processes and machines. To answer critics became the duty of Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, biochemist, Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine, president of the Royal Society and president of the British Association. Sir Frederick tried no statistical answer or detailed argument. There are, said he, "eight to ten individuals in the world now engaged upon scientific investigations for every one so engaged 20 years...
