Nobel Foundation laureate rolls run for birth, raising and seat ties to New Carlisle, Olive Township
Lead: Nobel line: EMPTY. The Nobel Foundation's laureate rolls — the prize lists at nobelprize.org, including the laureates-and-research-affiliations roll — were run for any laureate born in, raised in, or seated in New Carlisle, Indiana, and no name answers. The negative is printed as a finding, not an omission. Hygiene: the county does hold a Nobel name, and it is not this town's. Harold C. Urey, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1934 for the discovery of heavy hydrogen, was born in Walkerton, in St. Joseph County — Walkerton's tie, at birth grade, and no part of it transfers west to New Carlisle. Indiana's other Nobel-affiliated names in the rolls are seated at Bloomington, West Lafayette and Indianapolis, none at this ground.
