Description:
One of the most auspicious days in St. Lawrence history took place on Oct. 26, 1929 when Nobel Prize-winning chemist Madame Marie Curie came to campus for the dedication of Hepburn Hall of Chemistry. The appearance of the world-famous Curie was arranged by the venerable St. Lawrence trustee Owen D. Young, and occurred some three years after the building construction was complete. Mme. Curie is pictured standing in front, with Mr. Young facing her in the cap and gown. Mrs. Emily Eaton Hepburn, benefactor of the building, is seated at right.
