INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on ffep to "Marsha Henderson", "as remembrance of her collaboration", Signed, dated "Feb. 20, 1947". From Wikipedia: "Philipp Frank (March 20, 1884, Vienna, Austria-Hungary ? July 21, 1966, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States) was a physicist, mathematician and also a philosopher during the first half of the 20th century. He was a logical-positivist, and a member of the Vienna Circle. He was influenced by Mach and was one of the Machists criticised by Lenin in Materialism and Empirio-criticism. . . he studied physics at the University of Vienna and graduated in 1907 with a thesis in theoretical physics under the supervision of Ludwig Boltzmann. Albert Einstein recommended him as his successor for a professorship at the German Charles-Ferdinand University of Prague, a position which he held from 1912 until 1938. . . Frank, who was Jewish, fled to the United States after the German occupation of Prague. Frank became a lecturer on physics and mathematics at Harvard University. In 1947 he founded the Institute for the Unity of Science as part of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS). This arose after Howard Mumford Jones (then president of the AAAS) had issued a call to overcome the fractionalization of knowledge, which he felt the AAAS well suited to address. The institute held regular meetings attracting a broad range of participants. Quine regarded the organisation as a 'Vienna Circle in exile'." Announcement of Einstein's death in the Boston Evening Globe (April 18, 1955) laid in (continued on p. 33, but that portion not included in the saved article), which has caused offsetting to ffep and strip down inside front cover hinge: "EINSTEIN DEAD Scientist, 76, Entered Hospital Friday"; a black and white photo-portrait of Philipp Frank, ostensibly, clipped from an article of similar vintage (not identified, but would appear to be from a newsprint publication like the New York Review of Books, apparently with a review of a book on Freud on the backside of the clipped photo-portrait of Frank) also laid in.
