Felix Klein gave a lecture at the Mathematical Society of Göttingen #OTD in 1918. The title was “On Hilbert’s first note on the foundations of physics."

Klein included excerpts from letters in which he and Hilbert give priority to Emmy Noether for her results on conservation of energy in general relativity.
