"The World Movement," the address at the University of Berlin, was the first of two distinctively academic, or scholastic utterances, the other, of course, being the Romanes lecture.
Bob leaned through the open cab window, murmuring thickly: "Nobel, you are drunk. Shocked nay, grieved as I am at seeing you thus, I shall take you home." "Get out, will you?" snapped the manager, undertaking to slam the door. But Wharton was in a declamatory mood and went on, swingingly: "The sky is faintly flushed with pink; Apollo in his chariot draws nigh.

Finsen was given the Nobel prize partly for re-discovery of this. They segregated erysipelas and so prevented its spread. They recognized the contagiousness of leprosy, and though it was probably as widespread as tuberculosis is at the present time, they succeeded not only in controlling but in eventually obliterating it throughout Europe.
Nobel intended his Prize for, and that he thought a man would need about forty thousand dollars to meet.
