Timiriazev communicated that State Scientific Council had approved L.I. Mandelstam as Professor of theoretical physics [398, pp. 24–146].

Notes
- 1.
L.I. Mandelstam came to MSU, when there was a united Physico-Mathematical Faculty. This was a period of changes. At the beginning of the 1930s, the structure of the Moscow State University included departments: mechanical, astronomo-mathematical, physical, and zoological. In 1933, the faculty system was restored and Mandelstam again became Professor at Physics Faculty.
