    Response by Linus Pauling, as spokesman for all Nobel Laureates, to the university students of Sweden, holding a torchlight procession in the Blue Room of the City Hall, Stockholm. 10 P.M. Friday, 10 December 1954

    Young men and women: On behalf of my colleagues, as well as myself, I thank you for your kind demonstration of friendship and respect.

    I am reminded of my own students in California. They are much like you - I have observed that students, young people, are much the same all over the world - and that scientists are the same. There is a world-wide brotherhood of youth and science.

    Perhaps, as one of the older generation, I should preach a little sermon to you, but I do not propose to do so. I shall, instead, give you a word of advice about how to behave toward your elders.

    When an old and distinguished person speaks to you, listen to him carefully and with respect - but do not believe him. Never put your trust in anything but your own intellect. Your elder, no matter whether he has gray hair or has lost his hair, no matter whether he is a Nobel Laureate, may be wrong. The world progresses, year by year, century by century, as the members of the younger generation find out what was wrong among the things that their elders said. So you must always be skeptical - always think for yourself.

    There are, of course, exceptional circumstances: when you are taking an examination, it is smart to answer the questions not by saying what you think is right, but rather what you think the professor thinks is right. Arrhenius discovered that there is danger in being too original in one's Doctor's thesis.

    You will have some great problems to solve - the greatest of all is the problem of war and peace. I believe that this problem has been solved, by the hydrogen bomb - that there will never again be a world war - the knowledge that a world war would mean world-wide destruction, perhaps the end of civilization, will surely now lead to permanent peace.

    But it is your generation that will have the job of working out the means of preventing disaster, by improving the techniques of international negotiations, of developing safeguards against paranoic demagogues who might make nations rabid; you will have this great job to do - and I am confident that you can do it.

"Prof. Linus Pauling stole the show at the Nobel banquet with his cheerful laugh. THEFT: Dignified we sit at the festive tables. Glumly we half listen to the words - the words of boring speeches. Suddenly we become alert: somebody is laughing, laughing in this formal hall. Long we hesitate, long we question: shall we refuse, shall we dare to open our tightly closed shell? At first we felt he had done wrong to laugh. Then slowly we realize that gladly we would have shared his crime, he who stole the show at the banquet.
