PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF BERLIN
TRANSLATED BY
ROBERT W. LAWSON, M.Sc.
RELATIVITY
Theory of the Specific Heat of Solid Bodies, and the
fundamental idea of the General Theory of Relativity.
During the interval 1909 to 1911 he occupied
the post of Professor Extraordinarius at the
University of Zurich, afterwards being appointed
to the University of Prague, Bohemia, where he
remained as Professor Ordinarius until 1912.
In the latter year Professor Einstein accepted a
similar chair at the Polytechnikum, Zurich, and
continued his activities there until 1914, when
he received a call to the Prussian Academy of
Science, Berlin, as successor to Van’t Hoff.
Professor Einstein is able to devote himself
freely to his studies at the Berlin Academy, and
it was here that he succeeded in completing his
work on the General Theory of Relativity (1915–
17). Professor Einstein also lectures on various
special branches of physics at the University of
Berlin, and, in addition, he is Director of the
Institute* for Physical Research of the Kaiser
Wilhelm Gesellschaft
