On foreign soil you're greeted by a friendly Passenger-Service representative who speaks English, makes you feel at home abroad. JAMES B. SUMNER Professor of Biochemistry in Cornell University Nobel Pri^e in Chemistry\ 1946

PROFESSOR SUMNER, who came to Cornell in 1914, won the Nobel Prize because of his discovery that enzymes can be crystallized. Twenty years ago, he isolated crystals of urease from jack beans, the first time an enzyme had been isolated. He was granted a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1937 to continue his research on en- zymes in Sweden, and that year was awarded the Scheele Medal at Stockholm for his work. Crystallization of enzymes is recognized as one of the fundamental discoveries in biological science. "Enzymes/' Professor Sumner explains, "are the very quintessence of life, and this knowledge will enable man to come nearer to the solution of what life is." The citation for the Prize, translated freely, reads as follows: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has at its meeting on the fourteenth of November 1946 in accordance with its regulations and in keeping with the will of Alfred Nobel drawn up on the twenty-seventh of November 1895 decided that half of this year's prize shall go to him who has made the most important chemical discovery or improvement, namely to James* B. Sumner for his discovery that enzymes can be crystallized.
