		Lorentz Medal, Koninklijke Akademie van Wetenschappen, Amsterdam, 1979
		In 1957 I was a Guggenheim fellow and visiting lecturer at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, in 1964 - 1965 visiting professor at the University of California in Berkeley, in 1973 Lorentz guest professor in Leiden and visiting scientist at the Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands.
		The fall of 1979 I spent as Raman Visiting Professor in Bangalore, India, and the first semester of 1980 as Von Humboldt Senior Scientist in the Institut für Quantum Optik, in Garching near Munich, as well as visiting professor at the College de France in Paris.

	Zernike, Frits
		Zernike's achievements were recognized by the Royal Microscopical Society; he was also awarded the Rumford Medal of the Royal Society (London) and an honorary doctorate in Medicine from the University of Amsterdam.
		When asked to choose between a gold medal and an amount of money, he wrote back that he preferred the money, since he had already enjoyed the privilege of receiving a gold medal.
		A more elaborate work on critical opalescence was similarly rewarded in 1912 by the Dutch Society of Sciences at Haarlem, which had as jury distinguished scientists of those days: Lorentz, Van der Waals, and Haga.
