Warren Gamaliel Harding

( . . )   On the night before the reception at the White House, at which President Harding was to present the gramme of radium to Madame Curie, the Deed or gift was taken to her. It was a beautifully engraved scroll, vesting all rights to a gramme of radium, the gift of American women, in Marie Curie. She read the paper carefully, and then, after a few moments of thought, said: `It is very fine and generous, but it must not be left this way. This gramme of radium represents a great deal of money, but more than that, it represents the women of this country. It is not for me; it is for science. I am not well; I may die any day. My daughter Eve is not of legal age, and if I should die it would mean that this radium would go to my estate and would be divided between my daughters. It is not for that purpose. This radium must be consecrated for all time to the use of science. Will you have your lawyer draw a paper which will make this very clear?" "I said that it would be done in a few days. "It must be done to-night," she said. "Tomorrow I receive the radium, and I might die to-morrow. Too much is at stake." And so, late as it was on that hot May evening, after some difficulty, we secured the services of a lawyer, who prepared the paper from a draft Madame Curie herself had written. She signed it before starting for Washington. One of the witnesses was Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. This document read: "In the event of my death I give to the Institut du Radium, of Paris, for exclusive use in the Laboratoire Curie, the gramme of radium which was given to me by the Executive Committee of Women of the Marie Curie Radium Fund, pursuant to an agreement dated the 19th day of May, 1921." This act was consistent with the whole life of the discoverer of radium; with the answer she had made to my question a year before: "Radium is not to enrich any one. It is an element; it is for all people."   ( . . )
