We find that the shift due to the spin susceptibility, K^s, is substantially large and anisotropic, with the spin shift along the a-axis K^s_a being two times that along the c-axis K^s_c. The shift decreases with decreasing temperature (T) down to T\sim100 K, then becomes a constant until superconductivity sets in. Both K^s_a and K^s_c decrease below T_c. Our results indicate unambiguously that the electron pairing in the superconducting state is in the spin singlet form.4 pages, 5 figuresSuperconductivityStrongly Correlated Electronstext
