Title

Lab blackboard announcement of EOL's Nobel Prize

Description

The Lab blackboard announced Ernest O. Lawrence's Nobel Prize. In September 1939, as the Nazis started World War II, Lawrence announced plans for a 100 MeV cyclotron. The award of the Nobel prize in physics to Lawrence in 1939 helped his quest for money for the new machine among his usual sources. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.)
