Wolfgang Pauli, professor of theoretical physics at the Physikal Institut of Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule in Zurich, Switzerland, has been awarded this year’s Franklin Medal for his formulation of the exclusion principle as related to atomic structure. Awarded annually by the Franklin Institute to the scientist whom the Institute considers to have done most to advance the knowledge of physical science or its application, the medal was accepted by M. J. Rohrbach, Swiss Consul in Philadelphia, on behalf of Dr. Pauli, who was unable to attend the October 15th presentation ceremonies.
