Albert Einstein. 2 January 1950

Albert Einstein (1879-1955).

Typed letter signed (‘A. Einstein‘) to Hugo Bergmann, Princeton, 2 January 1950.

In German. One page, 279 x 216mm.

‘The controversy about the foundations of the physics of probability’. Einstein is sending in a separate packet the volume printed for his 70th birthday (Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist). ‘I am sending it to you as I think that the controversy about the foundations of the physics of probability will perhaps interest you’. Once Bergmann has finished with the book, Einstein asks him to pass it to Rosa Dukas, sister of Einstein’s assistant, Helen. Einstein has been discussing the problems of the Hebrew University with the recently-elected president, Selig Brodetzky, who has visited.

Selig Brodetzky (1888-1954) was second president of the Hebrew University during a turbulent period, marked by the forced abandonment of the campus on Mount Scopus and disputes with the University Senate.
