 I remain seated for the invocation. We thank thee, our Father, for thy mercies, for the blessings with which thou hast endowed us and our world. We pray that thou wouldst help us to use it to thy honor and glory for Jesus' sake. Amen. Ladies and gentlemen, since we have a very important program, indeed the climactic event of the symposium before us, I think you will want me to proceed as rapidly as possible so that we may adjourn to alumni hall for that final panel. It would not be amiss, I think, at this occasion to call attention to a paragraph out of the brochure which is on your table and which is taken from the inscription in the Nobel Memorial Hall of Science. The paragraph reads as follows, Gustavus Adolphus College finds its own interests reflected in Nobel's desire to encourage and promote scientific investigation, literary excellence, and responsible citizenship in a world community. It shares Nobel's conviction that each has its particular and important contribution to make to the well-being of mankind. It believes that the study of the sciences contributes greatly to liberal education, and that such study is in turn enriched by its association with the study of all aspects of human culture. I think perhaps that says as briefly and as clearly as I can say it, the purpose of this symposium and the general ideal and idea which lies behind the Nobel Association. I would like also to call to your attention on your desks or by your places another folder which indicates that the Nobel Symposium is not the only academic event of this winter term. This is the announcement of the 16th annual Bernadotte Institute on World Affairs under the theme South Asia in Transition. This begins on Monday and runs not regularly but on at various times throughout next week and the beginning days of the week following. Both of these events are indications of the fruitfulness of an association that is historical but which is also contemporary and dynamic insofar as the relation between this institution and its origins in the Swedish immigration and the Swedish nation. I should like now to introduce the members of the head table, those of you who have been here for one or more sessions have undoubtedly identified them and if you have had the privilege of listening to their lectures, they are more than names. You have also had an indication of what goes on in their minds. To the far right, Dr. Paul Ramsey of Princeton University who spoke to us this morning about the moral and religious implications of genetic control, Mrs. Edward L. Tatum who is part of what makes Dr. Tatum's work interesting, Dr. Sheldon Reed of the University of Minnesota I think it's not a mist to say that we are particularly pleased that at this first symposium we have had a representative of the University of Minnesota and I should also like to say that we have not chosen him because he represents the University of Minnesota. While we were not unaware of his reputation and his qualities, it was actually out of context along the eastern seaboard that people said, well, you've got a top-notch geneticist right there at the University of Minnesota and we agree completely. Dr. Pauli Karpkush who served as the moderator for this symposium and who will be operating at his exceptional best as the moderator of the panel tonight. Dr. H. Bentley Glass of Johns Hopkins University whose distinctions are too many to enumerate. Council General Olaf Landinius, we are delighted that he could be with us tonight and represent not only the Council General of this area but also thereby his homeland. Mrs. Phillip Hench about whom you heard the testimony last night that all that Phillip Hench is or hopes to be, he owes to his wife. And Dr. Phillip Hench who is the honorary chairman of this symposium, member of its advisory committee. I was going to say last night in introducing him but then it got a little restless here at the end, I was going to comment that I think Dr. Hench has adopted Sweden Council General and those of us who from time to time share in the souvenirs that he brings back know that this has been decidedly to the advantage of Swedish trade. I was also going to comment that among his less well-known accomplishments, his expertness in the field of Sherlock Holmes literature and he does such things as writing for the news notes of the Metropolitan Opera news organ and to say that photography is a hobby of his is an understatement. But he has his films developed in Paris I'm told and they've just discovered that this is the reason there's been that big drain on the gold reserve in this country. Mrs. Edgar Carlson about whom I could not say too much. Dr. Edward Tatum of Rockefeller Institute and whose contribution in the technical aspects, the biological aspects of our problem has been so very substantial. Mrs. William Shockley of Leland-Stanford, Dr. Kingsley Davis of the University of California at Berkeley, Mrs. Albert Swanson and Dr. William Shockley also of Leland-Stanford and Dr. Albert Swanson Dean of the College. I should like now to call on Dean Swanson to introduce to this group the members of our science department. We would like thus also to recognize the very significant work that is being done in these departments not only during the Nobel Symposium but also throughout the year. President Carlson I will ask you to rise. Dr. Arthur Glass the chairman of the Department of Biology. Dr. Charles Hamram, Department of Biology. Dr. Myron Anderson, Department of Biology. Robert Bellig, Department of Biology. Dr. Ward Tanner is missing tonight. He's in Puerto Rico with a group of students study of marine biology. From the Department of Chemistry. Dr. Arnie Langtian, Chairman of the Department. Dr. Bernard Hugenboom, Dr. Bruce Friedrich. James Johnson from the Department of Geology. Mr. Johnson from the Department of Mathematics. Mr. H. Moten Anderson, Chairman. And Milton Brostrom, Richard Bell, Department of Mathematics. From the Department of Physics. Dr. Milford Rodine, Chairman. Professor Nicholas Gurski, Department of Physics. Dr. Franklin Johnson, Department of Physics. I ask the wives who are present from this group to stand please. I think I can identify them, but I wasn't real sure. Here's Milton Anderson, Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Friedrich, and Mrs. Rodine, and Mrs. Brostrom. And Mrs. Chester Johnson, thank you. I think we should proceed directly to the alumni hall. Thank you all.
