Narrator: Pauling won a Nobel Prize in 1954 for his earlier insights into the nature of the chemical bond. The state department was
forced to give him a passport this time so that he could accept the honor.
Linus Pauling: In 1931, Professor Noyes said that I probably would get the Nobel Prize sometime. Well, I thought that’s nice of the old
guy to say that, but I’m a little skeptical myself. The Nobel committee finally, in 1954, decided that this whole body of
knowledge that I had contributed quite a lot to had changed the nature of chemistry so much that it was justified to give
me the Nobel Prize. Well, I was pretty pleased.
