I suggest removing the sentence "He provided the research setting for six Nobel Prize-winning projects during those 13 years, as well as hosting about a half dozen future laureates, either as students or as post-doctoral researchers." This text refers to I.I. Rabi and not to Schwartz, who was just an undergrad at the time. A reader unfamiliar with Rabi would not realize this and would believe the statement is about Schwartz.

Well, no one has done this or commented on my suggestion since I put it here several months ago. Professor Schwartz passed away this week, so his page is likely to get much more traffic than usual. I've gone ahead and made the change.
