Abstract
THE philanthropy of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish industrialist, is usually commemorated on December 10 in Stockholm or Oslo with the announcement of the new Nobel Prize winners. In its place a dinner was held in the United States on December 11 at which eleven Nobel laureates were guests of honour. The celebration marked the fortieth anniversary of the first awards. Nobel laureates who were present at the dinner included Dr. Viktor F. Hess, Dr. C. J. Davisson, Prof. Enrico Fermi, Prof. Otto Meyerhof, Dr. Karl Landsteiner, Dr. Irving Langmuir, Prof. H. C. Urey and Prof. Peter J. W. Debye. Dr. Vilhjal-mur Stefansson presided.
