The Brazilian Academy of Sciences had been established in 1916. The reception was attended by approximately one hundred people, including numerous academics, officials from various political institutions and universities, the ambassadors of Germany, Great Britain, and the United States, pro- fessors and students. Einstein was first greeted by the deputy president of the academy, Juliano Moreira. The president, Henrique Morize, was present but unable to speak due to medical problems. Moreira presented Einstein with a diploma confirming his status as the first corresponding member of the academy [65 037]. The second speaker at the reception was member of the academy Francisco Lafayette Rodrigues Pereira, who presented a brief overview of Einstein’s theories (for his speech, see O Jornal, 7 May 1925). The last speaker was member of the academy Mario Ramos, who an- nounced that the academy planned to establish an Einstein prize, to be awarded annually for outstand- ing work in the sciences (see Jornal do Brasil, 8 May 1925). Einstein responded by presenting a lec- ture on the current state of research on the theory of light. He prepared his talk on stationery of the Hotel Glória and gave the manuscript to das Neves. For the draft of his lecture, see Doc. 485. Following the reception, Einstein drove with a group of academy members to the studios of Rádio Sociedade, where he recorded a short address (see Appendix M) (see Jornal do Brasil, 8 May 1925 Tolmasquim 2003, pp. 135–140 and Tolmasquim and Moreira 2002, p. 234). [94]The Oswaldo Cruz Institute was devoted to the study of tropical diseases and had been estab- lished according to the model of the Pasteur Institute in Paris. Einstein was greeted by Carlos Chagas and Leocadio Chaves, director and deputy director of the institute, respectively. He toured the Oswaldo Cruz Museum, the Museum of Pathological Anatomy, laboratories, and the library. He was also shown the pathogen that causes the tropical illness called Chagas’ disease (see Gazeta das Noti- cias, 9 May 1925). Einstein gave his second public lecture on relativity at the Polytechnic School. This time the au- dience was more limited, mainly consisting of the faculty and special guests. He was introduced by the school’s acting director, José Agostinho dos Reis. In content, the second lecture was a continua- tion of the first (see O Paiz and O Jornal, 9 May 1925 Cafarelli 1979, pp. 14–15). For Einstein’s lec- ture, see Appendix N. The supper, hosted by the German ambassador, Hubert Knipping (1868–1937), was held at the Club Germania, established in 1821. The event was attended by the president of the German Chamber of Commerce, Isidoro Kohn, and various businessmen, industrialists, and bankers. One newspaper re- ported that Einstein stated that, similar to Europe, he had noticed indications of suspicion among the nations of the Americas, but that there was less friction due to a higher degree of tolerance. In a report to Berlin, Knipping informed the German Foreign Ministry that the Brazilian foreign minster had been invited but had decided to send a representative instead (see O Jornal, 9 May 1925 Report of the German Embassy Rio de Janeiro, 20 May 1925 [GyBPAAA, R 64678] Tolmasquim and Moreira 2002, p. 230 Tolmasquim 2003, pp. 140–143 and Glick 1999, p. 110). [95]The National Observatory, established in 1827, had recently moved to a new campus in the neighborhood of São Cristóvão. Einstein was accompanied by the president of the Polytechnic School, Ignácio do Amaral the civil engineer Alfredo Lisboa and Isidoro Kohn. They were wel- comed by the director of the observatory, Henrique Morize. Einstein met with local astronomers who had participated in the British eclipse expedition to Sobral, including Lélio Gama, Allyrio de Mattos, Domingos Costa, and Morize himself. At the observatory, the transmission of a signal that recorded standard time and a Milne-Shaw seismograph were demonstrated to Einstein. The two brothers were Álvaro and Miguel Ozório de Almeida. Einstein had dinner at the home of Isidoro Kohn. The reception of the local Jewish community was held at the Automobile Club of Brazil. Einstein may have been thinking of the Jockey Club in Buenos Aires, where a reception had been held in his honor (see note 45). The event was attended by over 2,000 people. Isaiah Raffalovich welcomed Einstein in German. Other speakers were Jóse David Perez for the Sephardi community, who addressed Einstein in Portuguese, and Eduardo Horovitz for the Ashkenazi community, who addressed him in Yiddish. In his response, Einstein thanked his hosts and spoke of the great significance of solidarity among Jews and of their importance in the Zionist
