"Dear Mr. Joseph:
"1 notice that whenever you
mention the Talk Clinic (for the
benefit of fouders outside of Pitts-
hurgll, tile fiAk Clinic was pre-
sented to the University of Pitts-
burgh by two prominent Pitts
of merit alone they had been admit-
ted and not-a single Jew, what then?
Y<,u may say that .that wasn’t pos-
sible, It was posible.
Please remember I am stating these
questions trying to answer them in
iny own mind. And I am just as euger
to arrive at a dom-ct Understanding
of the whole situation as is. lay cor-
espondent. Should tiierd be u Jewish

done? Whut would YOU do, Consiil-

CALLY if you were’the head of u
university that derived a great deal
of its support fr.om public spirited
citizens and you excluded EVERY
GENTILE APPLICANT and admit-
ted only Jewish boy: and'girls. I am
merely stating they things to sug-
gest the diffieultie that present
themselves. It so happens that I
know the Chancellor of the Univer-
siiy of Pittsburgh very well and 1
know that I)r. Bowman is absolutely
without prejudice. If he bad the. room
to accept every, worthy applicant . I
am confident he wool,'! take in every
Jew as welt as ever. Gentile. But 1
am just as quick to ; v that-I do not
bilieve this is tyu>- of, trvery other

1 don’t know. But tin I do know and
I wish my eorrespondi’.ii.t -would read
tills statement very carefully. I woulij
like to print it in capitals,

of the rcnown^ll JewqHi seientists's
manuscript entitled f ‘Einheitlicher

sinn Academy of Sciences by Albert
Einstein will give t(ic scientific world
a new conception of the inter-relation
between meeharfrrs and clectro-dy-#
nnmies, Which, it is predicted) will re-
volutionize' scientific thought.
The manuscript represents t e n
years of labor on the part of Prof.
Einstein who haS been in poor health
for a long time, sufering from a
iieart aliment: The exposition of
“The New Field Theory" is two
pages ionger than his monumental ex-
position of his relativity theory.
It is stated here that Newton's
“Principia Mathenultica" and the
monumental modern work on mathe-
matics hy Bussell and Whitehead are
lucre child's play in Contrast with the
Einstein document ip point of com-
phrensensibility. It can safely be
said that this theory, which has
Caused a complete readjustment of
man's Conception of the nature of
the universe and which has led to
revolutionary nlteratidns in the bases
of Cosmology, theology and metaphy-
sics, is beyond the understanding not
only of laymen, hut of the great budk
of the world’s Cultural and highly
educated population.
The word “field" ih the title of
the new paper is said to refer to the
electromagnetic fields, in which the
chief work has been done of late
in criticism of the theory of rela-
tivity. The original theory of rela-
tivity, which caused I In’ most spirited
scientific controversy since Darwin
published his "Origin of the Species"
and which was acclaimed hy its ad-
herents'as ..the most important scien-
tific discovery made since Newton's
promulgation of gravity, was contain-
ed in a document of three pages.
Professor Einstein, bombarded im-
mediately after the revelation of his
new work hy requests for explana-
tions, intimated that an elucidation
clear to the layman was tint possible.
"The report," lie sta.tcd to press rep-
resentatives, "is a purely ma'thmati-
eal extension of the general theory
of relativity. There is no occasion
f,|r anybody to lx- excited about it,
n'ni’l why the newspaper should take
an interest in it I can't undcTSttrrfd.

athletes in all Bports-goes oh merrily.

is Alex Lcvinsky of the Toronto

Will Wedge of the New York Sun
says that the boy has the makings of
a great hockey player. When and
if he arrjfcs nt Madison Square Gar-
den he will get a !>ig welcome.
“Pansy had jthe stuff bu' his skin

Hekoeii in Second Place in Soccer

.?■ L
By defeating the Newark team 4-1,
Hakoah climbed back into second
I -
place in the Eastern Soccer League.
Th ' ‘
he last few weeks has seen the team
in a slump, but they seem to have
found the winning habit again. Hagg-
ler and Wortman were the main cogs
in the attack.
The Brooklyn Wanderers went into
first place in the American Soccer
League when they defeated the Prov-
idence team 4-2. The star of the
Wanderers’ offensive was Bela Ros-
enberg, who scored twice. I think
I said that all the Jews had left
Agar’s team. It seems as though I
was wrong because here is Rosen-
berg big as life in the lineup. I also
noticed that Grozs is appearing week-
ly. That name is familiar. Didn’t
he play with one of the invading
Vienna Hakoah teams?
Tex Rickard
The death of Tex Rickard removes
from the sport world its biggest fig-
ure. Almost solely through his ef-
forts, professional Bport was raised
from an inconsequential position to
that of big business.
The life of Tex Rickard is almost
like a dime novel. A poor boy, a
wunderer, he drifted to the rough
and tough mining camps where he
ran saloons and gambling houses. By
chance he began promoting fights
and found this to be a lucrative way
to earn a living. He became famous
as a promoter through, his nerve in
offering hugh purses to the fighters
and paying them. When he died his
fortune was estimated at about

should have been admitted to the

The department can only accomodate
65. Should thirty-five Jewish students
have been admitted? Or forty? Or
fifty? Or all of them which would
have just filled the class and exclud-
ed all-.the Gentiles? If that wouldn’t-

I in a personal communication a few
| months before Iris death, Walter
Hurt makes this comment:
‘.‘It is qriil<- within the power of
the Jewish people to erase anti-
Seniitism from the earth. Take
my word for it, there is not on. the
part of the’noii-Jewish world, as
many suppose, at(y fundamental
dislike of the HebreV rare, bittiT-
■<is the existing enmity undoubt-
edly it. What is anti-Semitism any-'
way? We,—both Jews and Aryans,
still are in a state of comparative
savagery. It is a universal law that
antagonism begets a reciprocal an-
tagonism. Anti-Semitism, therefore
simply is a natural reaction of
primitive psychology to a manifest
Jewish hostility. Let their better
brethren suppress Jews of a certain
typx* and silence their malevolent
utterances and anti-Semitism will
disappear—not immediately of
course for all evil effects axe dis-
posed to linger—but within a rea-
sonable time, and it instantly will
perceptibly diminish."
Walter Hurt still remains of inter-
est to Jewish reader*. This week I
received a letter from Dr. Israel
