hypotheses as in the occult structure of matters in terms of “oscillators,” “resonators” and
the like. Many have disputed about the relative merits of these two methods. But wise men
like Einstein use both.
The achievements of a great man in a definite line of work such as mathematical physics
can be adequately appreciated only by experts. But the charm of a great personality is im-
mediately felt by all. Prof. Einstein’s personality charmed and impressed everybody. His
straightforward simplicity, kindliness, patience, genuine modesty and naive humor almost
made one lose sight of the transcendent mental power.
We all have reason to be grateful to Mr. Wetzel, of the Physics Department, for securing
the arrangements which brought Prof. Einstein to the College of the City of New York. It is
hoped that Prof. Einstein can be induced to publish one of his lectures and thus leave a per-
manent memorial of a notable event in the history of the College.
