Nobel immigrants

It is a wonderful vindication of the tradition of academic hospitality in Britain that three out of the four Nobel prizes associated with the UK this year went to academic immigrants ( Education , 12 October). They join the many others welcomed who went on to become Nobel winners. CARA has since the 1930s supported 18 who fled from fascism and later attained this distinction. What a magnificent return for Britain's welcome! Anne Lonsdale Council for Assisting Refugee Academics
