    Newly Opened Correspondence Illuminates Einstein's Personal Life

    CENTER FOR HISTORY OF PHYSICS NEWSLETTER Vol. XXXVIII, Number 2 Fall 2006 One Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740-3843, Tel. 301-209-3165 Newly Opened Correspondence Illuminates Einstein’s Personal Life By David C. Cassidy, Hofstra University, with special thanks to Diana Kormos Buchwald, Einstein Papers Project he Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of T Jerusalem recently opened a large collection of Einstein’s personal correspondence from the period 1912 until his death in 1955. The collection consists of nearly 1,400 items. Among them are about 300 letters and cards written by Einstein, pri- marily to his second wife Elsa Einstein, and some 130 letters Einstein received from his closest family members. The col- lection had been in the possession of Einstein’s step-daughter, Margot Einstein, who deposited it with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem with the stipulation that it remain closed for twen- ty years following her death, which occurred on July 8, 1986. The Archives released the materials to public viewing on July 10, 2006. On the same day Princeton University Press released volume 10 of The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, con- taining 148 items from the collection through December 1920, along with other newly available correspondence. Later items will appear in future volumes. “These letters”, write the Ein- stein editors, “provide the reader with substantial new source material for the study of Einstein’s personal life and the rela- tionships with his closest family members and friends.” H.

  • Family Weekend Welcome to October 18-20, 2019

    WELCOME TO FAMILY WEEKEND OCTOBER 18-20, 2019 EVENT GUIDE WELCOME TO FAMILY WEEKEND We are delighted you are here for this very special occasion! Family Weekend is an important event in our community — a time when students share their lives on campus with their families. We hope your visit provides you a glimpse of the intellectual and cultural vitality of your student’s home away from home. Get a taste of learning at Brown by attending an Academic Forum with one of our celebrated faculty members. No papers to write, no exams to take – just pure immersion in fascinating topics like sustainability, research and Brown’s Open Curriculum. Watch a special screening of the Oscar-winning documentary “Period. End of Sentence.” followed by a panel discussion with one of the film’s executive producers, Charlotte Silverman ’22, and current Brown students working on solving big global problems. And if you would like to learn more about how Brown’s Open Curriculum has supported the intellectual and personal development of individual students, encouraged students’ active participation, and forged learning communities across disciplines for the last 50 years, join us for “Educating your Student at Brown: Life and Learning Inside and Outside the Classroom.” At the Weekend Keynote Address, hear firsthand from President Christina Paxson P’19 and Undergraduate Council of Students President William Zhou ’20 about the innovative ways we are making a Brown education the signature experience of a lifetime — and preparing students for “lives of usefulness and reputation” as engaged citizens of the global community. Following President Paxson’s remarks, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi ’91, P’22 will deliver the keynote address.
