  • Who Got Einstein's Office? Eccentricity and Genius at the Institute for Advanced Study. - book reviews Washington Monthly, Dec, 1988 by Nicholas Martin; "The book is a history of the Institute for Advanced Study, the private research institute founded in 1930 by Caroline Bamberger Fuld and her brother, Louis Bamberger, in Princeton, New Jersey. Not many people were in a position to make large philanthropic donations that year, but the Bambergers had just sold their highly profitable department store the summer before (they received their $25 million, much of it in cash, six weeks before Black Thursday). The Bambergers hoped the institute would be a haven where a select group of natural scientists, mathematicians, social scientists, and historians would spend their days thinking great thoughts, unmolested by the outside world."

Bamburgers Building edit

Seems as if the building was for a short time (1923-1926) the tallest in Newark, and that's w/o the antenna structure, the height of which is not included in the infobox, but would be interesting to know....

Cultural References edit

Would it be inappropriate to include a section called Cultural References to the Bamberger's article? 71.101.84.191 (talk) 20:04, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

It depends. Some people object to them outright because they see them as collections of trivia. Other people believe that they are valid demonstrations of how pervasively known a topic has become. They can be either of those depending on the implementation. Sourced cultural references can have a place in articles, sometimes as a list but usually better presented in prose. You might want to bring it here to the talk page first before putting it in the article and get others opinions about the particular items you have in mind.
