No more appropriate memorial could stand on the grounds of the National Acadmey of Sciences than one honoring Albert Einstein. It commemorates the centennial of the birth of a scientist whose work led to a new understanding of this world and the universe and a man who believed that the worldwide fame which came from his work was " a solemn trust to be used for the common good." From the top of its head to the tip of its feet, the Einstein figure measures 21 feet and weighs 7,000 pounds. -Mrs. Schlotterbeck
