For Immediate Release July 1, 2005 Images Available Contact: Linda Dackman 415. 561. 0363 Leslie Patterson 415. 561.0377 images@exploratorium.edu Nobel Prize Fun Facts Alfred Nobel wrote the final draft of his Nobel Prize bequest at the Swedish Club in Paris on a torn piece of paper in front of four witnesses because he distrusted lawyers. The first great author to be rejected by the Nobel Committee Tolstoy was not even nominated in the first year, and 42 Swedish authors, artists, and critics signed a famous address to object to this. Tolstoy was nominated the next year, and he was found wanting by the reigning conservative committee, because of his "animosity toward culture," "ghastly naturalistic descriptions," and "criticism of the state and the Bible." Another Nobel boo-boo was Antonio Moniz, 1948 winner in medicine and developer of the prefrontal lobotomy for the treatment of schizophrenia. The treatment was abandoned in the 1960’s. Robert E. Lucas, winner of the Nobel Prize in economics in 1997 for his work on the theory of "rational expectations," had to split the $1 million prize with his ex-wife. Her divorce lawyer inserted a clause to cover just such a possibility. The clause in the couple's property settlement read: "Wife shall receive 50 percent of any Nobel Prize."
