Charles Glover Barkla Nobel Quotations

As an Englishman, permit me now to say with what pleasure I learnt of the election of Professor Planck and Professor Stark to the Nobel Prizes for the years 1918 and 1919.

The Nobel Prize is without doubt the highest honour, the most coveted honour, which can be bestowed on a scientist.

It seems to me that the Swedish Academy of Science may be qualifying for the Nobel Peace Prize. It recognises no nationality; it discourages unworthy national feeling and prejudice.
