Summary edit

Description
English: Falsification. A letter from the University of Bern rejecting his application as an Associate Professor. NB. This strange letter with "06 June" in English is probably a falsification, compare hsm.stackexchange.com and Uniaktuell.unibe.ch.Text:
(University of Bern
Sidlerstrasse 53012 Bern)
06 June, 1907

Dear Mr. Einstein,

Your application for the doctorate has not been successful
at this time and as such you are not eligible for the
position of Associate Professor.

While you posed an interesting theory in your article published
in Annalen der Physik, we feel that your conclusions about
the nature of light and the fundamental connection between space
and time are somewhat radical. Overall we find your assumptions
to be more artistic than actual Physics.

Sincerely yours,
Prof. Wilhelm Heinrich, Ph.D
Dean of Sciences
(Stamp:) University of Bern
