...house guest of Morgan Partner Thomas W. Lamont in Manhattan last week was Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, 73, when cables flashed that he is to receive 158,000 Swedish kronor ($40,000), the Nobel Peace Prize...
...present Conservative Cabinet is carrying on today under Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain who is colder to Geneva than even Mr. Baldwin was. Recently he dropped the League of Nations completely out of the annual Speech from the Throne (TIME, Nov. 8). Genial Lord Cecil spoke of his winning the Nobel Prize last week as "a feather in the cap of the League of Nations." Like many another British lord he has something of a weakness for the Nazis. "A plain, naked transfer of territory back to Germany would be difficult," said Nobel Prizeman Cecil last week. "I would favor...
Boyish, modest Dr. Anderson discovered the positive electron in 1932 and is now a Nobel Prizeman. In 1934, in an inconspicuous footnote, he hinted at the possible existence of a new particle. The dilemma which confronted him then was a choice between theory and observation. He was studying electrons which occur in cosmic rays. Such electrons are supposed to behave according to the Bethe-Heitler theory, which ascribes certain penetrating powers to electrons of certain velocities. Dr. Anderson's data showed that electrons did conform up to energies of 300,000,000 volts. Above that energy level there appeared...

The Index...
...result was that U. S. readers missed some excellent fiction and were taken by surprise when Roger Martin du Gard won the 1937 Nobel Prize for literature, which usually amounts to around $40,000, announced fortnight ago. In France seven of the projected ten novels of the cycle have been published, carrying the story to the outbreak of the War. Although they centre around the wealthy Thibault family, they have little in common with the long, naturalistic family chronicles, of which Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks is the prime example, that have become familiar to U. S. readers...
