Albert Einstein lives in Berlin, Germany, where he is 

 director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institut fiir Physik. He was 

 born in 1879. In 192 1 he was awarded the Nobel prize for 

 physics; and in 1925, the Copley medal of the Royal Society. 

 His publications include Relativity (English Translation), 

 and Zur Einheitlichen Feldtheorie. Leading men of research 

 place him among the world's great scientists. Professor Ein- 

 stein is a good amateur violinist. He thinks so much of his 

 violin that he would not bring it with him on a trip to Cali- 

 fornia fearing lest the climate of the Panama Canal would 

 affect it unfavorably. He admits that he goes to his violin for 

 its quieting effects when weary with protracted investigations 

 into cosmic phenomena. He holds to the Christian philosophy 

 that men are here for the sake of other men; and he says that 

 system of ethics which declares that comfort and happiness are 

 the ends is fit only for a "herd of cattle." He abhors war, 

 calling it "low and despicable." The mysterious, to him, is 

 the most beautiful thing in the world, and the source of all true 

 art and science. Einstein says of his theory of relativity, "I 

 believe it to be true but it will only be proved in 1981, when I 

 am dead." When, during a visit to this country, he said, "The 

 only deeply religious men of our largely materialistic age are 

 the earnest men of research," he aroused a storm of disapproval. 

 Yet Professor Einstein's religion, including as it does intense 

 interest in social justice, a devout belief that "what is impene- 

 trable to us really exists," and dedicated to "goodness, truth 

 and beauty," is what multitudes are seeking.
