Sir Lawrence Bragg Sir Lawrence Bragg, 81, who shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with his father, Sir William Bragg, in 1915, died July 1. He was the youngest ever to receive a Nobel Prize, and the only one to cele brate the 50th anniversary of the day it was awarded. He was given a royal banquet in Stockholm on the occasion. Sir Lawrence was educated at Ade laide University in Australia and at Cam bridge, where he graduated in 1912. His father was studying the nature of x-rays at Leeds University while Sir Lawrence was doing research at the Cavendish Laboratory on x-ray diffrac 46 C&EN JULY 19, 1971
tion. Their later work together won them the Nobel Prize. After World War I Sir Lawrence was appointed professor of physics at Man chester University. In 1954 he was named director of the Royal Institution, London. He retired in 1966. Sir Lawrence's work was important to mathematics, physics, chemistry, crystal lography, and mineralogy, but his dis coveries are said to have proved most valuable to the physical chemist and crystallographer.
Westbrook Steele Westbrook Steele, 82, president emeritus of the Institute of Paper Chemistry, Appleton, Wis., died May 11 in Ormond Beach, Fla. He was on the institute staff from its founding in 1929 until re tirement in 1955. He served as executive secretary, 1929-35, and president 1950-55. He had played a leading role in the founding of the institute and in its de velopment as a graduate school and re search center with ties to the paper in dustry throughout the world.
