Delta Upsilon's national web site reminds us that one of the Nobel Prize winners in 2004 is a DU. Any other Greek Nobelists from this year or recent years?
(We may not need to go back to Pearl Buck, for instance
, unless people really want to.)
"Dr. Edward C. “Chris” Prescott, Swarthmore ‘62, of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and Chaired Professor of Economics at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, is the joint-recipient of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on dynamic macroeconomic theory. The co-recipient is Dr. Finn E. Kydland of Norway.
While at Swarthmore, Brother Prescott was an active member of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity and was captain of the football team. While certainly the most recent, Dr. Prescott is the fifth DU to win a Nobel Prize and DU’s second Nobel laureate from the Swarthmore Chapter – the first was Dr. Christian B. Anfinsen Swarthmore ‘37, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1972. "
