Most of the mathematical references cited above have been borrowed
bodily from the book list prepared by Miss Mary E. Todd of the Science
Room of the New York Public Library and published in the _Library
Journal_. As soon as the Einstein craze struck New York these books
were placed on a long table and it has been difficult to find a seat
at this table, day or evening, ever since. At Cambridge University
when Professor Eddington lectured on the Einstein theory the students
waiting for the opening of the hall doors formed a cue extending
half-way across Trinity Great Court. It is unusual in any university to
have “standing room only” at a lecture on mathematical physics.
