To Richard Wettstein Berlin, 21 February 1920[1] I have already been asked about Mr. Ehrenhaft by Prof. Wegscheider, and he may well have made use of my letter.[2] My view is the following. Ehrenhaft has, through his indefatigable efforts, pointed experimental physics onto new paths.[3] The reason why E. is being rejected by so many physicists is that his theoretical interpretation of his own experiments are being frowned upon. I too am convinced that he is on the wrong track in this regard.[4] Nonetheless I am in support of E. obtaining the position. He is an energetic, pro- ductive mind who will always breathe new life into the institute. He can conduct experiments and is tirelessly diligent. He can be pardoned for his little bit of mono- mania.
