A Bathing Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway was undoubtedly eccentric. Here he is taking a bath. Did you know that Hemingway first got the inspiration for his masterpiece, “the Old Man and the Sea” while sitting in the bathtub?

Einstein visits the Hopi House
On his way to Caltech in 1931, Einstein stopped by the Hopi House near the Grand Canyon with his wife. He really wanted to join the faculty at the time. He can be seen here in a traditional headdress, along with his wife and some of the Hopi during his visit. We wonder if the people gathered around him truly appreciated what an honor it was to be visited by a man of such stature.
