How Oswald Veblen Quietly Created Einstein’s Princeton

Historian Cindy Srnka and naturalist Steve Hiltner present new research about Oswald Veblen, the mathematician and visionary who laid the groundwork for so much of what Princeton is today. This talk is co-sponsored by the Princeton Public Library and The Friends of Herrontown Woods as a prelude to Sunday’s staged concert performance of the new musical “Einstein’s Begonia.”
