Never before have three Nobel Prize winners emerged from one single graduating class of any college. In addition. this years two winners now meritoriously bring to seven the total number of Nobel Prize winners City College has produceda total unmatched by any other public institution in the Nation. Im sure my colleagues can understand my enthusiasm. The mid1930s were lean years. Many students who attended then were offspring of poor immigrants. those who ardently pursued education as a ticket out of the ghetto. City College was able to provide this ticket for future success by way of challenging. rigorous academic standardsall for 50 cents a semester.
