Standing with three others before King Gustav of Sweden, two Harvard men, George R. Minot '08, professor of Medicine, and William P. Murphy '20, instructor in Medicine, receive today the 1934 Nobel Prize, awarded them for their discovery of liver extract as a remedy for pernicious anemia.

After a spokesman delivers an address in the new, Stockholm Concert House, telling why the awards in each academy are made, the king will bestow upon the winners the embossed diploma, gold medal, and check, emblems of the prize. At a dinner in the evening, the winners make informal speeches, while later in the week they attend a banquet given in the royal palace.
