Professor Albert Einstein, the world-famous scientist, now on a brief visit to California, has consented to make one public appearance in New York prior to his sailing for Europe on the “Deutschland,” Wednesday, March 15.

Professor Einstein will be the guest of honor at a public dinner to be given under the auspices of the American Friends of the Hebrew University.

Dr. Einstein will arrive in New York on the morning of Wednesday, March 15th, according to Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach, President of the American Friends of the Hebrew University, and will spend only one day in the city, leaving at midnight for Europe. The dinner will be held that evening at the Hotel Commodore and the guests will include prominent men of science and of letters, university presidents, and many other well-known men and women not only from New York but from other cities throughout the country.

“The good fortune of New York in having this opportunity to entertain Dr. Einstein,” said Dr. Rosenbach, “is in fulfillment of a promise of long standing to the Managing Director of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Jacob Landau, who has just returned from Pasadena after completing the arrangements for Dr. Einstein’s presence here. Professor Einstein was appointed to the first Board of Governors of the Hebrew University when it was founded in 1925, and he was also the first Chairman of its Academic Council. Among the American members of the Board of Governors of the University are Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo, and Judges Irving Lehman and Julian W.
