FORMER NOBEL PRIZE WINNER TO GIVE CHEMISTRY LECTURES

Professor Richard Willstattey of the University of Munich will in March deliver a series of lectures at the Harvard Medical School.

Professor Willstattey, winner of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1915, is a famous authority on ferments in the digestive organs. One of the most distinguished of organic chemists, he has by large-scale methods succeeded in making notable advances in the study of these particular ferments. His receiving of the Noble award immediately followed that of Professor T. W. Richards, A.M. '86, of the Chemistry department.

The invitation to Professor Willstattey succeeds that of Professor William Einthofen who received the Nobel award for 1924 while here, and that of Professor Harrison of Yale.

The lectures will commence March 22 and continue for two weeks. Additional lectures may also be given in the Department of Chemistry.
