Einstein Typed Letter Signed "A. Einstein." written on his professional letterhead: "The Institute for Advanced Study, School of Mathematics, Fine Hall, Princeton, New Jersey. Einstein laments the opportunities for foreign and older students to enroll or teach at the smaller colleges in the United States: "It is good that in your last letter you described your situation to me. You're right, there are so many smaller universities and colleges here. But they do not take foreigners! The placement of even outstanding young foreign mathematicians has taken more than 3 years in the last few attempts. And older people, of course, and they are not unjustified, are afraid that they will never quite find their way into the new circumstances."

A propos de cet article

Einstein letter of approx. 250 words, typed in German, dated 25. Januray 1939 and signed in ink by "A. Einstein." With a few single letter corrections in Einstein's hand. The letter is in very good condition, typed on Watermarked paper," Chieftan Bond" with high rag content. With two rust marks at the top edges from the removal of old paperclips. Light staining to the bottom right-hand side, barely perceptible, like faded tea stain. Strong at the folds. Lieber Rosenthal: Seit Ihre letzten beiden Telegramme kamen, habe ich auf jede Weise versucht, unsere Einladung in etwas Substantiellerea umzuwandeln, weraufhin der Konsul ihnen ein non-quote-visa geben wurde. Aber es will nicht gelingen. Auf die loan Idee Kann sich das Institut nicht einlassen. Infolge der viel niedrigeren Verzinsung ist unser Budget fur nachstes Jahr ganz erheblich beschnitten worden. So kann ich Ihnen im Augenblick wenig Hoffnung machen und mochet Ihnen dringend raten, das Angebot von Freudenthal nach Holland zu gehen anzunehmen.Ich bin sicher, dass ich Ihnen in wenigen Tagen die Zusicherung geben kann, dass der von mir verwaltete German Mathematicians Relief Fund $350.00 an Sie uberweisen wird, sobald Sie ausser Landes und ohne Stellung sind. Eine Kopie davon werde ich an Freudenthal schicken. Es ist gut, dass Sie in Ihrem letzten Brief mir Ihre Lage genau geschildert haben. Sie hben recht, es gibt hier so viele kleinere Universitaten und Colleges. Aber die nehmen keine Auslander! Die Placierung selbst ganz hervorragender, junger auslandischer Mathematiker hat in den letzten paar Fallen mehr als 3 Jahre in Anspruch genommen. Und Bei alteren Leuten furchtet man naturlich, und nicht ganz ohne Unrecht, dass sie sich nie mehr ganz in die neuen Verhaltnisse hineinfinden werden. Ob sich diese entmutigende Situation in der nachsten zeit etwas andern wird, hangt in erster Linie davon ab, ob die existierenden oder in Bildung begriffenen Hilfsorganisader grossen Masse der colleges ein wenig zu brechen, in zweiter Linie auch von dem Resultat dr Verhandlungen des Evian-Komità es. "A. Einstein" Translation via Google Translator:Dear Rosenthal: 25. January 1939Since your last two telegrams came, I have tried in every way to turn our invitation into something substantial, after which the Consul gave them a non-quota visa. But it has not succeeded. On the loan idea the institute can not get involved. As a result of much lower interest rates, our budget for next year has been curtailed considerably. So I can not give you much hope at the moment and I urge you to accept the offer of Freudenthal to go to Holland.I am sure that in a few days I can assure you that the German Mathematicians' Relief Fund I manage will transfer $ 350.00 to you as soon as you leave the country and are out of a position. I will send a copy of it to Freudenthal.It is good that in your last letter you described your situation to me. You're right, there are so many smaller universities and colleges here. But they do not take foreigners! The placement of even outstanding young foreign mathematicians has taken more than 3 years in the last few cases. As for older people, of course, and they are not unjustified, they are afraid that they will never quite find their way into new circumstances.Whether this discouraging situation will change somewhat in the near future depends primarily on whether the existing or developing aid organizations can offer substantial support to the colleges, and secondarily on the outcome of the negotiations of the Evian-Komità es , "A. Einstein."Albert Einstein (1879 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist. Einstein developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known by the general public for his mass energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"). He received the 1921 No.…
