ONE Of Princeton Universitys newest and
~ most magnificent buildings will provide
congenial home for the Institutes School of
Mathematics for the next few years, at least
When Prof. Einstein arrives in the Fall of
1888 to take up his work in this building, he
will be able to read over a fireplace in one of
its rooms a quotation from his own scientific
philosophy: "Rafiniert list der Herr Gott aber
BoShaft list Err NIGHT"
This has been translated: God is clever but
not dishonest" 1t makes good epigram that
way, but like much of the EinStenan mathe-
mates. the German phrase Is also open to
other interpretations. 1t translates little more
correctly as. God is clever but not malicious"

thoughts, gazes through certain window OF

rounding it, he will fashioned into an orna-
mental device upon its loaded windowpane

With the Famous Scientist as Its
Head, the New "Institute for Adj
vanced Study Will Give Carefully
Selected Students the Benefitof Study
Under the Worlds Best Brains.

Of Advanced Study was expressed by DR.. Flexner
in the following words
Institutions of learning are made up of men
and women. In this complex modern civiliza-
ton, with its steadily rising standard of living
it is of the first importance that education and
research should attract gifted and vigorous tai
ent.
During the last 25 years the world has
undergone great and important changes Insti-
buttons of learning, situated in quiet vii
lagos, now find themselves in the heart of busy
and noisy cities. Men and women who gen.
Grafton ago might have devoted themselves to
academic life swept into the vortex of prac-
teal life.
prof Seligman of Columbia University has
recently said that the outlook for brains in
American universities is an ominous one. The
sacrifices required of an American professor and
his family are to high degree deterrent.
"The conditions provided are rarely favor
able to severe, prolonged and fundamental
thinking Poor salaries brighten off the ADLER
and more vigorous and compel the university in
structor to exc out his inadequate income by
writing unnecessary text books or engaging in
other forms of hack work which he should not
have to do
Il do not need to argue that, despite certain
individual exceptions, American scholarship
cannot be promoted upon an unsound and I'M
satisfactory economic basis.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1933-01-08

of the ideas that he expressed in his 1890
book, Universities, American, English and
German" are finding expression in the organ
ization of the new institute.
Race, creed or sex will have influence in
the conduct of the Institute for Advanced
Study. The founders Mr. Bamberger and Mrs.
Ftud laid down the principle that I'm the
appointment of the staff and faculty, well
as the admission of workers and students, no
account shall be taken directly or indirectly,
Of race, religion or sex"
And in the appointment of Prof Einstein,
who is a Swiss citizen in spite of his long resi-
dence in Germany. there is evidence that politi-
cal boundaries OF nations will have no influ-
ence.
DR.. Flexner in expressing "a very grave
sense of responsibility" in his duties connected
with the Inauguration of the institute observed
that new foundations, starting as does this with
clean sheet without commitments and with
out traditions, are not likely even in America
to be frequent occurrences"
BECAUSE he is architect of this new educa-
tional institution, Dr. Flexner's previously
expressed ideas are prophetic and are worth
quoting from briefly here
Suppose we could smash our existing uni
versities to bits" DR.. Flexner wrote in his book
on universities, suppose we could remake them
to conform to our hearts desire, what sort of
institution should we set up?"
we should see to it somehow" Dr. FIexner
answered in part, that in appropriate ways
scholars and scientists would be conscious of
-FOUR major concerns-the conservation of
knowledge and ideas. the search for truth the
training OF students who will practice and
carry on"
Confident that civilization which he calls
the great society" wishes to understand itself
partly as matter of sheer curiosity and partly
because human beings are in a muddle and
cannot get out unless they know more than
they now know, Dr. Flexner explained In his
book why universities as he conceives them
have an important place in the world

Albert EinStein, who is perhaps the
most widely recognized scientist of today, is the
head 'for life of the first school of this new
"superuniversity."
Its directive force and instigator is DR..
Abraham FleXner for years one of the heads
of RockefellerS General Education Board, and
severest critic of the vocational trend in Amer
lean universities.
The necessary financial support is an en-
dowment of SIS 100000, donated by Louis Bam-
berger and his sister, Mrs. Felix Fluid. Prince
ton University is at present a friendly host to
this independent educational agency.
Modest and unsssuming is the title of this
newest and most advanced of the worlds edu
cational and research institutions. 1t is 'The
Institute for Advanced Study"
A ROUND such great scholars Einstein
there will be gathered groups of assistants
and students. And this will be done without
haste, with the atmosphere of oxford, Cam
bridge and the other venerable European CEN
tiers of learning
Every incoming student of the Institute for
Advanced Study will be capable of holding
professorship at ordinary college. Few If
any students will be invited who have not re-
ceived the highest of ordinary graduate degrees,
the Phi D.
But DR. Flexner has carefully left his aca-
demic door open for the exceptional scholar
who has not received the routine academic APP
prevail conferred by degrees. An occasional I'M
usual genius qualified Intellectually may enter
his portals of higher learning without the
formal blessing Of other institutions.
The details of education, so standardized in
lower levels, will be left to the great intellects
about whom the institute will operate. If Prof.
Einstein does not wish to give lectures to the
half dozen students that may be working with
him he will not do So He will meet his coll
leagues when and where and how he chooses.
Not more than 10 students will work with
any one professor of the institute and some Of
the faculty will desire to have only two or three
students associated with them at enc time
The formal term of actual study and research
will extend for only six months of the year.
The other half of the year the staff will be
technically on vacation, but DR.. F1exner has
found that those engaged in research often do
their best work while ION vacation"
co informal is the program at the institute
- that it is hoped that the same creative
spirit will infuse the working period as often
controls the So-called vacations and makes them
SO productive
When great scholar enters the institute for
advanced study he will leave practical cares Of
life behind him. The entire staff of professors
and assistants will be employed full time on
such scale that they need not worry about
life's routine, but can devote all their energies
to prolonged and fundamental thinking"
In addition to ample salaries, there will be
retiring allowances, pensions and aid in the
education of children.
EINSTEIN, when he vas told of the financial
l. arrangements, is said to have exclaimed:
This is heavenl' Other scholars doubtless will
agree with him

 Zangara was electrOcuted at 9:15 o'clock Eastern Stan- dard time and was officially noun C e d dead at 9:27 o'clock.
 He was guarded by squads of National Guardsmen, arm ed with machine guns, and stationed on building tops as the switch was thrown.
 Zangara was taken from the death cell by two guards. He was dressed in striped trousers, white shirt, open at the neck and wore no shoes.
 When he saw the chair he stopped suddenly, glanced at the thirty persons in the chamber and said: Don't hold me. 1 no afraid of chair"
 The guards released him and he walked to the chair, looked it over quickly, then strode to Superin- tendent L. F. Chapman, handed him a sheaf of papers on which was written: Here is that book have been writing," then said:
 T no afraid of chair, see," and with that sat down in the death chair.
 Vain to Last
 zangara eyed the witnesses cur- iously. As the straps were adjusted to his hands and legs, he said: No camera man here, no one to take picture?"
 Superintendent Chapman said No"
 Just as the metal cap was placed on his head, zangara said: Lousy capitalists" Then he shouted: "All capitalists lousy bunch-crooks." Then he said "Goodybe, adios to all the world. goodbye"
 zangara leaned back in the chair, relaxed and awaited the shocks.

First Explorer to Climb
 Alaska Peak, Passes 4iUdy

MOGDISHU, Somalia, March 2 The Duke of the Abruzzi, cousin of King Victor Emmanual, is dead He came here to seek recovery from an arterio solerasis attack.
 The Duke was commander-in- chief of the Italian navy in the first stages of Italy's participation in the world war and was noted ir scientific circles for North Polar and mountain exploration.
 But to Americans he was known rather as the unsuccessful suitor of Katherine Elkins, daughter of the wealthy Senator Stephen B Elkins of West Virginia.
 They met in 1907 at a dinner given in Washington by George von L. Meyer, then secretary of the navy, and for six years rumors of their betrothal pursued them. The reports ended in October, 1913 when Miss Elkins married William F. R. Hit, son of @ wealthy con- gressman from Illinois.
 The duke cabled his congratula- itons. Mrs. Hit had no opportun- ity to return these felicitations for the duke never married.
 Throughout this period there were constant denia1s of the ru- mored engagement from both sides of the Atlantic. Up to his death in May, 1911, Senator Elkins neg atived every rumor and official Rome echoed him, but the reports persisted.
 Royalty Blocks Match
 At times rumor had the Italian royal family blocking the match because Miss Elkins was a Protest ant and a commoner. Then later when it was said that these ob- iections would be met by the Am- erican girls being created princess and embracing the Catholic creed there were reports that Senator El- kins was the barrier. It was said that the senator objected to the dowry demands, which were report ed to have reached S5,000,000; that
