In 1937, an extraordinary meeting took place in Princeton, New Jersey, between Albert Einstein, the renowned physicist, and Bronislaw Huberman, a distinguished Polish violinist. Though Einstein is best known for his scientific achievements, particularly the theory of relativity, his deep love for music, especially the violin, was a significant part of his personal life. Huberman, on the other hand, was not only a celebrated musician but also an advocate for the cultural power of music.
Their meeting was a harmonious blend of two brilliant minds from different disciplines. Huberman, widely regarded as one of the finest violinists of his time, had recently fled Europe as tensions grew ahead of World War II. His dedication to music went beyond performance; in 1936, he founded what would later become the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, with the goal of saving Jewish musicians from the horrors unfolding in Europe.
During their conversation, Einstein and Huberman discussed their shared passion for music and its power to transcend cultural and intellectual barriers. Music was a sanctuary for Einstein, offering him solace and inspiration amidst the challenges of scientific work. He famously said, "I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music."
The encounter between these two luminaries was not just a casual exchange but a reflection of the profound role that music played in connecting people across different walks of life. Einstein's respect for Huberman's talent and Huberman's admiration for Einstein's intellect solidified a bond between science and the arts, showing that creativity and genius thrive in both realms.

✨圖書館「韶光依舊爍亮─張昭鼎教授紀念特展」2月20日正式開幕！影片為當日活動紀錄💖
開幕活動這天蒞臨許多貴賓，一同表達對張昭鼎教授的深切懷念。 張昭鼎教授為清華大學原子科學研究所第二屆畢業生，赴德留學取得博士學位後，於剛成立的清大化學系擔任副教授，並首開「高等無機化學課程」，為臺灣無機化學先驅者，培育學子無數。 曾一起為台灣科學教育努力的好友、張教授的學生以及家人今日齊聚一堂，細數張教授一生中以行動帶給他們的深遠影響。
簡禎富副校長談及在清大唸書期間，恰逢台灣社會力量經濟發展開始，學校培養自由的校風，張教授也是重要推手之一；呂正理校友則分享趣談，有次張老師到花蓮出差遇到颱風，學生們以為張老師不會上課，都在宿舍呼呼大睡，結果老師居然準時出現在課堂。
自此之後，他上課或是與人約會再也不敢遲到。可見張教授身教的成果。 「韶光依舊爍亮─張昭鼎教授紀念特展」展期至4月30日，更多有關張昭鼎教授別具意義的小故事，歡迎大家一同來觀展🎉
