Vintage glossy 4.25 x 3.25 candid photo, taken on October 8, 1934, of Einstein in profile among a group of gentlemen in caps and gowns at the podium in Yeshiva College, the day he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, signed in fountain pen, “A. Einstein.” In fine condition. Surprisingly, Einstein’s receiving the degree met with some protests from Orthodox Jews, who were critical of the New York City school honoring non-Orthodox Jews or those of other other faiths who had gained renown in the secular world.
