Nobel Prize Recipient. Norman Haworth, a British chemist, received international recognition after being awarded the 1937 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and according to the Nobel Prize Committee, " for his investigations on carbohydrates and vitamin C." He was the first British organic chemist to receive the Nobel Prize. He received 16 nomination for the Nobel candidacy and jointly shared this covet award with Paul Karrer , who also researched vitamins. For his research with Vitamin C, Albert Szent-Györgyi received the 1937 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. There were long and acrimonious deliberations on which worthy candidate would receive which category of the Nobel Prize. Haworth mapped the composition and structure of various forms of sugar, starch, and cellulose in 1928, extending the research of Emil Fischer, 1902 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recipient. In 1933 he determined the molecular structure of vitamin C, which was a cure for the disease scurvy, and led to producing artificial vitamin C. Born Walter Norman Haworth, the second son of four children of a manufacture of linoleum flooring, he attended local schools until he was fourteen years old. After joining his father at Ryland's linoleum factory, he became interested in the chemistry used for dyes and sought private tutoring. He was accepted to study Chemistry at Manchester University, graduating with honors in 1906; he studied in Gottingen, Germany on the 1851 Exhibition Scholarship in the laboratory of 1910 Nobel Prize recipient Otto Wallach, receiving Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1910; and after returning to Manchester, receiving his Doctorate in Science in 1911. Upon graduation, he accepted a post as demonstrator at Imperial College in London and in 1912 transferred to St. Andrews in Scotland at the position of Lecturer and Reader in Chemistry. During World War I, he changed his research to drugs but returned to his vitamins after the war. In 1920, he was called to the Chair in Chemistry at the University of Durham and in the following year, he became the director of the department. He became Professor and Director of the Department of Chemistry at Birmingham University in 1925, and he stayed until he retired in 1948, eventually becoming Dean of the Faculty of Science. He was knighted in 1947. Besides his detailed research in vitamin C, he also developed a simple method of representing on paper the three-dimensional structure of sugars. The representation, using perspective, now known as the Haworth Projection, is still widely used in biochemistry. From 1944 to 1946 he was the President of the Chemical Society. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1928 and served as the Vice-President from 1947 to 1948. He received honorary science degrees from the Universities of Belfast, Zurich and Oslo, honorary Doctor of Law, University of Manchester, and foreign memberships of nine foreign scientific academies. He received the Longstaff Medal from the Chemical Society in 1933 and from the Royal Society, the Davy Medal in 1934 and Royal Medal in 1942. Haworth wrote numerous scientific papers with his last dated 1914 and contributed to the professional periodical "Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry." His book "The Constitution of Sugars" was published in 1929. He is commemorated at the University of Birmingham in the Haworth Building, which houses most of the School of Chemistry. At the university, there is also a Haworth Chair of Chemistry. After World War II, his health seriously declined. After his retirement in 1948 , he served on many boards and committees and represented the Royal Society at the Seventh Pacific Science Congress in New Zealand in February of 1949. On his 67th birthday, he suddenly died of a heart attack at home following the strenuous tour of Australia and New Zealand. Although he entered a career of scientific research, he maintained his entire life the sense of business learned from his father. In 1977 the Royal Mail issued a postage stamp celebrating his achievement in synthesizing vitamin C and receiving the Nobel Prize. He married and the couple had two sons. He coined the word "ascorbic acid" for the chemistry structure of Vitamin C.
