The Massachusetts Institute of Technology was celebrating the award of
another Nobel Prize, the second in a week or so, to one of its faculty
members. Robert M. Solow, a a distinguished economist, was awarded the 1987
Nobel Prize for Economics in recognition of pionering studies in ecnomic
growth. Solow, 63, an institute professor at MIT, is a former president of the
American Economic Association. The award came one week after Susumu Tonewaga,
48, who has been at MIT since 1981, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine
for his research on the disease-fighting capacity of the body's immune system.
