Part 1 - The Institute Libraries - Institute for Advanced Study

Inasmuch as only those students will be admitted who have
already obtained the Ph. D, degree zr whose training is
equivalent to that represented by iitL7.. ,and who are in
addition sufficiently advanced to wrry an and to cooperate
in independent research, the number of students will be small.
A few uorkers, who have been admitted for the year 193391934,
already hald essured positions in mlversity departments of
mathmatics and have given evidence of capacity for original
and independent research, Mature persons of this kind vill
naturally receive preference in the matter of admission.
The steff will aid students in deciding the general methods
and purposes of thefr work, ~nd, as occasion offers, in the
details. Only such students will be zchitted as are acceptable
to the staff of the Schoa~ and the Director of the Institute.
Instruction will be given either by individual contact with
students, by seminars, by courses of lectures, or by other
methods, Each professor will be free to follow such methods
as he prefers.. .
The cmbfned opportunities of the Instftute and of the mathe-
mtical faculty of Princeton University will be open to stu-
dents enrolled in either institution without payment of ad-
dftiom.1 fees. As long as the School of Mathematics occupies
quarters fn Fine Hall, the mathematical library in Fine Ball
will ?x open to its use.
The School of btheuatics will join the rathematical faculty
05 Princeton University in publishing the Annals ~f ~athema;ics,
the editorial board of which will cunsist of representatives of
both institutions.82
tate fn the spring of 1933, Dr. Weyl, left pmetically alone at
G8ttingen through Hitlergs depredations, went to Switzerland and reopened
correspondence with Veblen; he would not return Ea Germany, and was con-
sidering a call to Madrfd. Veblen and Flexner fmnediately canvassed the
situation at the University and In the Znstitute; both wanted Weyl in
Psineeton, But Flexner found that Mr. Bamberger and Mrs. Puld were quite
opposed, because they dfd not lfke hfs actions earlfer, and also because
Dr. von kwmm uaa appointed in his place. In vain Plexner explained \
