SEABORG GLENN T.: (1912-1999) American chemist. Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry, 1951. Autograph statement signed, Glenn T. Seaborg, one page, 4to, Berkeley, California, 25th April 1952. Seaborg's statement is made in response to a researcher's question, entitled World Scientific Inquiry, their manuscript question at the head of the page stating, in part, 'In a brilliant article entitled ''An Epoch in Science'', which appeared in the magazine ''Science et Vie'', Jules Romains writes: The exploration of the physical universe has no assignable limits; but it seems likely, however, that discoveries of the first order of magnitude…..will be limited in number. The future will rather have to content itself with prodigious achievements of secondary importance…..Pure science has already unlocked the most important secrets of the universe…..Is Jules Romains right? What is your opinion, from a chemical point of view?'. Seaborg's statement appears beneath and states, in full, 'I do not agree with Mr. Romains. I believe that discoveries of the first magnitude in chemistry lie ahead of us', adding his signature, place and date below. A couple of light, minor stains to the right edge, close to, but not affecting the signature, and with some light age wear, otherwise VG
