“Einstein must be induced to remain permanently in England.” Such was the comment that ran yesterday in several British newspapers in connection with the report that Professor Albert Einstein has accepted the invitation of Oxford University to be its Rhodes Memorial Lecturer for the year 1930-31, As a consequence of this Einstein will have to reside in Oxford during the next summer term.
