Professor Schwinger Wins Einstein Award

Julian Schwinger, professor of Physics, will receive a half-share in the first Albert Einstein Award tomorrow for out-standing work in the natural sciences.

The $15,000 prize will, be presented at Princeton University to Schwinger and his co-winner, Kurt Goedel, professor of Mathematics, at Princeton.

Schwinger, who helped develop radar during the war, has made important discoveries concerning the relation between electrons and light. Goedel has determined that certain mathematical statements can be neither proven nor disproven.
