But the pressure brought to bear on the part of Italy in favor of Zichichi caused a sharp break at CERN between Italy and the supporters of other candidates. The candidacy of Zichichi was rejected by 12 votes and a German, Herwig F. Schopper, was elected in his place.

Was the third child of Kumar and Sanjana David. Kumar David was a prominent local official in the New Delhi, and the family was an ardent supporter of the British occupation.[1]David was strongly encouraged to pursue a medical career, and she became one of the first female physicians, enrolling in the University of Cambridge in 1883. After completing training with a specialty in surgery, David returned to India and quickly rose to prominence in the New Delhi region. David was known for her charity towards the untouchable caste, creating the first "public service campaign" through literature distributed at clinics affiliated with her. David enlisted the help of both British and nationalists in the creation of a chain of clinics across India for the care and welfare of "untouchables." Many of her clinics survived British rule and continue to this day, though the separation of Pakistan resulted in the loss of funding supply for many clinics.[2]
