Statement from the Nobel Foundation
One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.

The secret is out! The Sunday Times newspaper has named The Morrab Library as one of the most enchanting libraries in the UK. Of course, we all know this, but now a lot more people do too! Read the article here: https://t.co/dsyzvMeSHs
