Ten lettermen, led by University record holder Dave Abramson, senior Bill Chadsey, and captain Dave Bennett provide a fairly solid nucleus, which will give the Crimson decided superiority in several events...
...whose tireless activities range through varied fields, from scientific administration to advising the Government, the prize was presumably recognition of a lifetime of accomplishment. But Nobel committees tend to focus on the specific, and Wigner was cited for early theoretical work on the structure of the atomic nucleus and his early recognition of the shattering implications of quantum mechanics...
...only woman besides Marie Curie to win (1903) a Nobel physics prize, Mrs. Mayer was honored for research showing that atomic nuclei are built of onionlike layers of neutrons and protons held together by complicated forces. This concept, paralleling work by Professor Jensen, replaced the idea that the nucleus resembles a liquid drop, and it explained many nuclear properties...
