Southern Illinois University at Carbondale undertook to honor
Albert Einstein as scientist and as humanitarian in commemo ration
of his lOOth birthday during an "Albert Einstein Centennial Week,"
February 23 - March 2, 1979. During the course of this week two
Symposia were held, entitled "Symmetries in Science" and "Einstein:
Humanities Conscience," in addition to cultural and social
activities honoring Einstein. This volume presents the Symposium
"Symmetries in Science." It reflects the outstanding response that
was given to our "Albert Einstein Centennial Week" by the
international community of scientists. The motivation to have a
celebration honoring Albert Einstein at Southern Illinois
University at Carbondale was supplied by Dr. Paul A. Schilpp, the
editor of the "Library of Living Philo sophers." Albert Einstein
has contributed to this series with his autobiographical notes, a
kind of autobiography of his scientific life, in a volume entitled
"Einstein: Scientist-Philosopher," the most popular among all the
outstanding volumes of this series. Dr. Paul A. Schilpp's presence
at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale provided a natural
link for an Einstein Celebration as a kind of a continuation of the
contribution he made to mankind through the Einstein volume of his
"Library of Living Philosophers.""
