It was Solovine who one day suggested to read the works of great authors and debate them. Einstein agreed enthusiastically. A few weeks later the mathematician Conrad Habicht (1876-1958) who Einstein got to know in Schaffhausen, came to Bern and took part in the lectures and the following debates. These men gave the name "Akademie Olympia" (Olympia Academy) to their meetings which lasted until the evenings and partly until the early morning hours. Einstein in whose flat in Bern the meetings were usually held functioned as "president", "Albert Ritter von Stei?bein, Pr?sident der Akademie Olympia". The name and title were given to Einstein by Conrad Habicht.

But in the "Akademie" a severe discipline was demanded. Thus it happened that Solovine stayed away from a meeting to listen to a concert in the city. But he had prepared a meal for the friends and had left a note: "Amicis carissimis ova dura et salutem." (To the beloved friends hard-boiled eggs and greetings). But he had to pay hard for his skipping the meeting. As the meeting was to take place at his house this evening Einstein and Habicht turned his flat upside down after they had eaten the meal prepared by Solovine. Thus no piece of furniture stayed in its place. Plates, cups, forks, knifes and books were scattered all over the flat and last but not least the rooms were covered in smoke by Einstein?s pipe and Habicht?s cigar. Before the two men left the flat they fixed a "worthy warning" on the wall. There you could read: "Amico carissimo fumum spissum et salutem." (To the dearest friend thick smoke and greetings). On the next evening Einstein is said to have greeted Solovine loudly with the following words: "You lousy guy, how, you were cheeky enough to stay away from a meeting of the Akademie to listen to the violin? Barbarian, idiot, stupid one, if you ever let us down this way again you?ll be expelled from the Akademie with shame." The following meeting lasted until the morning because the time lost had to be made up for.
