During the period of the mid -1940s and following, Chandra used to drive 
some hundred miles between Yerkes observatory in Williams Bay and the 
University, week after week, to meet with a class of two students. 
Even at that time one might have raised a question of relative 
investment of time and energy, but I doubt that such a thought even 
entered his mind. When the Nobel Prize was awarded in 1957, it went 
to the whole class, Messrs. Lee and Yang.
