Prof. Albert Einstein has accepted the Mexican Government’s invitation to visit this country next April for the Holy Week festivals, Dr. Gonzalo Bautista, Governor of Puebla, announced today.
The Government, by special arrangement, will entertain Dr. Einstein as a guest of honor when he attends the Astrophysical Congress at Puebla in April. The Congress will center around the great new astronomical laboratory and study center at Tonanzintla, the opening of which early this year was described by visiting scientists as the most important astronomical event in Mexico since the Aztecs worked out their famed Calendar Stone at nearby Cholula. The Tonanzintla observatory is one of the finest in Latin America, Prof. Einstein is known to have taken a great interest in the observatory.
