Dr. Enders, of the Harvard University Medical School, is rewarded for finding new ways of growing virus for polio vaccin[ation], as is Dr. Robbins of the Western Reserve Medical School in Cleveland. The third member of the distinguished team, fighting dread polio, is Dr. Weller, affiliated with the Harvard School of Public Health.
