We will not let everyday politics dominate our lives. It is with great concern that we see science become dominated here and there by politics, and that some states with significant cultural heritages move toward scientific autarchy. This may have a divesting effect on science. There is no such thing as German physics, French mathematics, or English astronomy. These concepts ere atrocious creations of national chauvinism.
Truth is one and indivisible throughout the world.
In order to satisfy these urges and to retain my own individual independence, my aim in life will be best achieved, as far as 1 can see at present, if I follow a career in science. E tv s initiated regular meetings of mathematicians and physicists at a dinner table in the Carpatia Restaurant, in the vicinity of the Budapest University. We hope that by meeting here we will take the first step towards assembling again and again with a similar purpose and come into closer contact with Bach other. Respectfully yours sincerely, Baron Roland E tv s. If we carry out the task of self-education with dedication and seriousness, it will also have the result that in the future the researchers and developers of science will come from among us.
