An appeal to Jews everywhere to support the Yiddish Scientific Institute of Vilna, Poland, which was founded five years ago to foster scientific knowledge in the Yiddish language, has been issued by Professor Albert Einstein, honorary president of the Institute; Professor Sigmund Freud, famous founder of psychoanalysis; and S. Dubnow, noted Jewish historian. The Institute now has branches in 17 countries. During the short time of its existence, it has issued several volumes of historic, economic, philological, ethnographic and bibliographic interest. Several famous non-Jewish scientists have praised the work of the Vilna Yiddish Scientific Institute.
