Abstract

IN PRINCETON, New Jersey, Albert Einstein and Hermann Weyl had already been welcomed by Professor Veblen and Professor Flexner (1866–1959). The four of them did all they could to find or create positions for their European, especially their German, colleagues. This was by no means easy, and became more difficult as time went on. There were simply too many highly qualified people to be placed, especially Germans, and not enough universities which could afford to hire visiting professors. On the other hand, the responsibility of keeping all this talent from being wasted, of preventing mathematicians of genius from being forced into side lines or other professions, was certainly recognized. Committees for the support of emigrants were formed, some of them devoted to the task of clearing the path to legal immigration.
