**President Taft Honors Nobel Laureate Alexis Carrel at City College**
New York City, September 1912. President William H. Taft (1857-1930), Chief Justice of the United States and later 27th President from 1909 to 1913, is seen here with Dr. John H. Finley, president of City College in New York City, outside the institution's campus building where a reception was held to honor renowned French-American biologist Alexis Carrel (1873-1944) for his Nobel Prize in medicine.
Carrel, a pioneer in tissue culture and organ transplantation research, received the prestigious award just months prior. The gathering at City College celebrated not only Carrel's achievement but also marked an important moment of international scientific collaboration during World War I. Taft, known for his strong support of education and science, was likely drawn to this event due to its emphasis on these values.
This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in the lives of three influential figures: President Taft, Dr. Finley, and Nobel laureate Alexis Carrel. The image is a testament to the power of scientific discovery and international cooperation during times of global turmoil.
