Signed photograph of Nobel Prize winning scientist Arthur Harden which was given as a gift to Professor Young, Professor of Biochemistry, at the time when biochemistry formed part of the Department of Physiology. In 1938 Young became the University's first Professor of Biochemistry.
The photograph was presented to Young in recognition of his work on glucose metabolism. In 1929, Harden shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Hans von Euler-Chelpin "for their investigations on the fermentation of sugar and fermentative enzymes".
The University of Melbourne Archives Photograph Collection consists of individual photographs about the University from a variety of miscellaneous sources assembled into an artificial series. It was established to control the many photographs about the University donated to the Archives with scarce details of their provenance. More well documented photographs of the University are kept within their individual collections rather than added to this series. |
