01_Daniel McFadden (Economics, 2000), March 17 “To me, science is just a candy store. It is exciting all the time. And I just regret that I have to take time to sleep because there are always interesting problems to work on.”	02_Steven Chu (Physics, 1997), April 18 “If we want to make an artificial system to convert solar energy into chemical fuel,chemists and physicists can learn from studying biological systems with biological, biophysical and hybrid approaches.”	03_Carl E. Wieman (Physics, 2001) May 24 If you get the Nobel Prize in the future, don't think that the ceremony itself is important. There's a fancy banquet given in the castle of Stockholm right after it.”	04_Walter Kohn (Chemistry, 1998), June 23 “What I will be happy about is, think of your life, as not only your life and not only the life of your country men in Korea. Also think about the human race as a whole because the world will more and more become interactive system.”	05_R. M. Zinkernagel (Medicine, 1996), July 15 “Science is 99% frustration and 1% glory. To enjoy the glory is easy, but the goal of science must be to survive frustration.”



06_Alan Heeger (Chemistry, 2000), August 25 “Many problems in science are interesting, but not all are important. As in most areas of human endeavor, good taste in the choice is the key to progress.”	06_Yuan T. Lee (Chemistry, 1986), August 25 “We should learn how to live together and work to cope with the extreme situation we will meet in the future.”	06_Ryoji Noyori (Chemistry, 2001), August 25 “Green Chemistry will be a creative prosperous and responsible science. Green Chemistry is the key issue for chemical manufacturing in the 21st century.”	07_David J. Gross (Physics, 2004), September 28 “When you have a big problem, you are very lucky since it means you have to have a new idea. Find what you are really interested in and think big. You may not succeed. But if you don't even try, you definitely won't succeed.”	08_Peter C. Doherty (Medicine, 1996), October 12 “If any of you are thinking about Korea's future and thinking of infectious disease and vaccines, it would be an interesting area of research. I can tell you there are many challenges out there.”

Korea University (President: Euh Yoon-Dae) hosts
the Nobel Laureate Lecture Series in commemoration of its 100th anniversary.
The lectures aim to foster hopes for the next generation,
help the country take its next step toward development as an OECD member,
and promote further growth of the nation’s academia.
The lectures will be held throughout 2005, sponsored
by Hyundai-Kia Motors and Chosun Ilbo,
with Korea University’s Graduate School (President: Hyun Jae-Chun)
in total charge of the event.
Ten Nobel Laureates including Economics, Physics,
Chemistry and Medicine Prize winners
have scheduled to give lectures starting from this March.
Many more Nobel Laureates will be invited to Korea University henceforward.
