NOBEL PRIZE. The award of the Nobel Prize for Physics to Professor Sir C. Raman is a well deserved tribute to a distinguished scientist, and an honour of which all India is proud. He is the first Indian upon whom this honour has been conferred. In the days of his youth there was no scientific career open to a young Indian, and the Finance Department of 'the Government claimed ten years of his life until Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee gave him the opportunity for which he had waited, by offering him the Pal it Professorship of Physics in the University College of Science, Calcutta. Since then he lias gone from success to success, and his research work has won him many honours and distinctions which are crowned now by the Nobel Prize.
