When a Small-College Scholar Wins a Nobel, the Marketing Begins

Drew University loves William Campbell.

Mr. Campbell is a research fellow emeritus at Drew, a liberal-arts college in Madison, N.J., with just over 2,000 students, and on Monday he was named one of this year’s winners of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on a drug that treats two parasitic diseases, river blindness and lymphatic filariasis.

That makes him Drew’s first Nobel Prize winner, depending on how you count. One other Nobel laureate is associated with the university — a graduate of Drew’s Governor’s School, a summer program for high-school students — but Mr. Campbell is the first to serve on the faculty.

Universities with Nobel laureates tend to fit a type: large, prestigious, and heavy on research. When you tally up all of the prizewinners by institution, universities like Harvard and Columbia top the list.
