OPPENHEIMER J. ROBERT: (1904-1967) American Theoretical Physicist, known as the `father of the atomic bomb' for his role in the Manhattan Project during World War II. Scarce T.L.S., Robert Oppenheimer, one page, 4to, Princeton, 25th June 1956, on The Institute For Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey, to Marjorie B. Robinson, Douglass College, Rutgers. Oppenheimer, in his capacity as Director of the organization, states in part `I very much appreciate your invitation to lecture at Douglass College next April. I wish that it were possible for me to accept, however, I have agreed to give the William James Lectures at Harvard in the spring of 1957. This letter is therefore to send word of my warm thanks, to you and to the members of the Faculty Student Lecture Series Committee
´ Three file holes to the left border, not affecting the text or signature, and very small creasing to the upper edge, otherwise VG £500-800 Oppenheimer´s decision by Harvard to give the prestigious William James Lecture caused great havoc among Conservative elements of the Faculty. He concluded his final speech by saying `..we have a duty of great openness to others
learning to welcome the strange and being glad to learn something that is new..´.
