Subtitle of this chapter: To be an orator, first to be a joker.

………………………………………………

Tuesday morning, April 20, 1921.

The Grey Knight followed the Archmage and his party into the park-like campus of Princeton University.

Einstein did not know that he would spend the last twelve years of his life, from 1935 to 1955.

At that time, however, he did not work for Princeton University, but for the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton.

This top academic institution in the United States was founded in 1930. The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton is not part of Princeton University. Aside from the fact that some of the offices of the Early Institute for Advanced Study were located at Princeton University, the two institutions are practically unrelated.

Abraham Flexner, a renowned educator, founded the IAS in the thirties and served as its first dean. His aim was to establish a Platonic academy of purely theoretical research. The Institute does not award degrees, and all members are researchers who have obtained a Ph.D. degree.

In addition to the Faculty of Mathematics and the Faculty of Natural Sciences, the institute also has two liberal arts colleges, the Faculty of Historical Studies and the Faculty of Social Sciences.

The most famous member of this was Albert Einstein, but later Oppenheimer, von Neumann, Yang Chenning, and many other Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, Naiwang Linner Prize (the highest prize in computing) and the Wolf Prize (in the arts and humanities).

Thinking of this, our Master Yuan couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. I can also build such a research institute.

Of course, it's too early to say this. In another ten years or so, when you have become famous and have money, it will be about the same.

Although the cost of such an academy would be significant, the input and output are completely disproportionate at the beginning, because it is a purely academic research institution that is not subject to any teaching assignments, research funding or sponsorship pressure.

But with this institute, isn't it a global academic leader? When the time comes, "the master of masters" is really not an exaggeration, but a fact.

"Gentlemen, here we are."

He was led by John G. Hibbern, president of Princeton University, who succeeded Wilson as president from 1912 until 1932.

He was an educator, philosopher, and historian, but the three were not very separate in the early twentieth century. Dewey, for example, was an educator and a philosopher.

He is the author of philosophical and pedagogical monographs such as Philosophy of the Age of Enlightenment and Higher Patriotism. The latter book is a bit interesting, arguing that teachers should integrate patriotic education into the whole process of language education, and improve their own literacy in order to effectively implement patriotic education in teaching.

President Hepburn certainly did not expect that a hundred years later, the word "patriotism" would become a big reversal in the United States.

"Mr. Einstein, over here!"

"Neo, look here!"

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

A large group of reporters had been waiting for this typical New England-style building for a long time, and Master Yuan had the light of "his friend Albert" again, and could show a small face in the evening newspapers of today's major newspapers.

Public figures must always appear in the public eye, otherwise it will be easy for everyone to forget.

After the reporter finished taking the photo, he followed them into the auditorium......

As soon as Yuan Yanqian entered, she felt the enthusiasm of the American people. The auditorium, which can accommodate several hundred people, is now packed, and not only are all the seats filled, but there are also many people standing around.

In fact, in the original timeline, Einstein was so lively everywhere he went. He gave more than a dozen sold-out lectures in New York, Princeton, Washington, D.C., and Boston. So he had a very good impression of the United States and the Americans.

The Archmage was also unambiguous, waving to the surrounding audience very cordially. In the end, Princeton University is here, and most of the people who come to listen to the lecture are intellectuals, not NC fans of later generations, but there are no surprises.

In this way, the group slowly squeezed through the crowd and came to the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen......" As the host, President Hepburn was the first to take the stage to deliver a speech, "Ladies and gentlemen! ”

"It is a great honour for us to have Mr. Albert Einstein today, who is ......"

To Master Yuan's ears, the Princeton principal was eloquent and could be regarded as an orator.

In fact, the vast majority of the Western elites at this time were good at speeches, and some even ate speeches as a bowl of rice. For example, Mark Twain went around giving speeches to make money when he was at his poorest.

For politicians, public speaking is an essential skill.

Don't look at Harding as a wastewood, in fact, his speech is very popular. Coolidge has a nickname called "Silent Karl", but he is also quite a good speaker.

Lenin, temperance, the hanged man, Churchill, Roosevelt, they don't need to talk about it.

Later, Hollywood also made a film "The King's Speech", which even elevated George V's speech to the point that without this speech, the British Empire would have perished...... Well, with such a speech from him, the British Empire actually died.

Our Master Yuan had also given two public talks before that, one on NYU Gambling Night and the other on Christmas Eve. However, these two times have not yet shown his true level of speech.

And as his popularity grows, more and more people will definitely invite him to give speeches in the future. And when he returns to China, he will definitely have to rely on speeches to eat.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Let's start with a young writer whom Mr. Einstein greatly admired. Mr. Neo-Yuan, who came from the East thousands of miles away but became famous on our east coast"

Principal Hepburn turned his head to Master Yuan on the side of the stage and said, "Mr. Yuan, please say a few words for everyone!" ”

Yuan Yanqian naturally knew what to say when he heard this, and as a warm-up guest, he could only say 'a few words'...... Well, actually, it's just a joke.

"Smack...... Syllable...... Smack......"

There was applause from the audience, which was not eager, but polite.

It's not that everyone doesn't give face to this Chinese, it's just that these listeners came to listen to Einstein explain the theory of relativity.

It's not that this Chinese doesn't give everyone face, but he thinks it's good if a third of the people here can understand it.

Yuan Yanqi stood up, tugged at the placket, wiped her hair, shook hands with Einstein first, and then shook hands with Principal Hepburn, and then walked behind the wooden podium.

He didn't speak, but looked around the venue with an intoxicating smile, and specially waved to the Chinese students and reporters who were familiar with the audience.

However, he did not intend to give a repressive speech like that of Your Excellency, so he did not deliberately drag on time, but simply attracted everyone's attention.

After he finished his appearance, he coughed and said, "Ladies, gentlemen! ”

The Grey Knight pointed at the Grand Magus and said in a loud voice, "My friend Mr. Albert Einstein is a good man! ”
