We can be proud of the achievements and the competitiveness of our entering class, and I have no doubt that their admirable test scores, class ranks, and high school grade point averages will show their real meaning for us in the energy, intelligence, and dedication with which our new students approach their academic work and their community lives in the College. I have already received many reports from colleagues teaching first-year humanities general education sections about how bright, dedicated, and energetic our newest students are. To the extent that we can continue to recruit these kinds of superb students, the longer-term future of the College is bright indeed. We can also be very proud of our most recent graduating class. The Class of 2007 won a record number of Fulbright grants — a fact that I will return to in a few moments — but members of the class were rec- ognized in other ways as well, including seven Medical Scientist Training This essay was originally presented as the Annual Report to the Faculty of the College on October 30, 2007.

    Oskar Bolza—In Memoriam

    OSKAR BOLZA—IN MEMORIAM Oskar Bolza came to the United States from Germany in 1888, and returned in 1910 to make his home in Freiburg im Baden during the later years of his life. He was an influential member of our Ameri­ can mathematical community for twenty-two years, including those significant ones during which the American Mathematical Society was founded and had its early growth. He was one of the founders of the Chicago Section of the Society, was a member of the Council of the Society in 1900-1902 and vice president in 1904. He was be­ loved by his students and associates. He was born on May 12, 18S7 in Bergzabern, Germany, and word reached this country in the autumn of 1942 through the American Red Cross that he died peace­ fully on July 5, 1942, presumably in Freiburg. The following pages are devoted to a sketch of his life and scientific activities. They have unusual significance for our American mathematical community. Bolza's father was in the judicial service in Germany and the family dwelt in various places in southern Germany during Bolza's child­ hood years. In 1873 they made Freiburg their permanent home, and the ties which bound Bolza to that city were thereafter always very strong. His mother was a daughter of Friedrich Koenig, the inventor of a rapid printing press in the early part of the nineteenth century. The manufacture of printing presses proved to be profitable through the years, and so far as is known Bolza's life was free from financial worries.

    E. H. Moore's Early Twentieth-Century Program for Reform in Mathematics Education David Lindsay Roberts 1. INTRODUCTION. The purposeof this articleis to examinebriefly the natureand consequencesof an early twentieth-centuryprogram to reorientthe Americanmath- ematicalcurriculum, led by mathematicianEliakim Hastings Moore (1862-1932) of the Universityof Chicago.Moore's efforts, I conclude,were not ultimatelyvery suc- cessful, and the reasonsfor this failureare worthpondering. Like WilliamMueller's recentarticle [16], which drawsattention to the spiriteddebates regarding American mathematicseducation at the end of the nineteenthcentury, the presentarticle may re- mind some readersof morerecent educational controversies. I don't discouragesuch thinking,but cautionthat the lessons of historyare not likely to be simpleones. E. H. Mooreis especiallyintriguing as a pedagogicalpromoter because of his high placein the historyof Americanmathematics. He is a centralsource for muchof twen- tiethcentury American mathematical research activity. As a grossmeasure of Moore's influencewe may note the remarkablefact thatmore than twice as manyPh.D. mathe- maticianswere produced by his Universityof Chicagomathematics department during his tenurethan were producedby any othersingle institutionin the UnitedStates. In- deed, the Universityof Chicagoproduced nearly 20% of all Americanmathematics Ph.D.s duringthe period[22, p. 366].

    The International Congresses of Mathematicians - Politics and Mathematics

    The International Congresses of Mathematicians - politics and mathematics Edmund F Robertson University of St Andrews, Scotland Abstract The International Congresses of Mathematicians began in 1897 and, except for breaks during the two World Wars, has continued to be held regularly ever since. In this lecture I want to look more at the politics behind the organising of the International Congresses of Mathematicians than at the mathematical lectures at these congresses. 1. The lead-up to the Congresses The first International Congress took place in 1897 but before we look at this we will look briefly at the events leading up to this Congress. There were two influential people whose efforts were vital in promoting the idea of international mathematical conferences, namely Felix Klein and Georg Cantor. The first step might be considered to be the founding of the German Mathematical Society in 1890. Alfred Clebsch advocated the founding of such a mathematical society and also a mathematics journal in 1867. He died in 1872 and his role as the leading advocate of a German mathematical society was taken up by Klein, who had been Clebsch's student. However, it was not until Georg Cantor made a strong push for the founding of the Society that eventually the idea turned into reality. Both Klein and Cantor strongly believed in international collaboration in mathematics. Their aims were the same but both were motivated by different personal reasons. Cantor felt his close colleagues were making unfair criticism of his work so he wanted a broader platform to promote his ideas. Klein had strong ideas about teaching mathematics and mathematical research and was a great organiser who wanted to see his ideas placed on a broader stage.

    MAKING MATHEMATICS AMERICAN: GENDER, PROFESSIONALIZATION, AND ABSTRACTION DURING THE GROWTH OF MATHEMATICS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1890-1945 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ellen MacPhee Abrams August 2020 © 2020 Ellen MacPhee Abrams MAKING MATHEMATICS AMERICAN: GENDER, PROFESSIONALIZATION, AND ABSTRACTION DURING THE GROWTH OF MATHEMATICS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1890-1945 Ellen MacPhee Abrams, Ph. D. Cornell University 2020 This dissertation tells the story of how mathematics was made American. Like other American sciences, mathematics in the United States shifted during the Progressive Era from practical and educational activities toward research. Unlike other American sciences, however, American mathematics grew conspicuously apart from physical reality. Taking their cue from prominent scholars in places like France and Germany, mathematicians in the United States began building and working to define abstract mathematical systems. By following their European counterparts into abstract, so-called “modern” fields of research, however, American mathematicians risked alienation in a nation known for its “Yankee ingenuity” and practical know-how. This dissertation argues that, while the growth of mathematics in the United States meant establishing societies, journals, and graduate programs, it also meant reconfiguring what counted as mathematical work, who counted as a mathematician, and how each was thought to contribute to American society. While early-twentieth-century Americans were working to build a mathematics community, prominent researchers in Europe were working to rebuild the foundations of mathematics itself. Foundational questions, in turn, led some to reconsider the epistemological status and meaning of mathematical knowledge, as well as its value and values.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1958 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. GILBERT AMES BLISS May g, 1876—May 8, 1951 BY E. J. McSHANE ODAY THERE is a thickly inhabited part of the South Side of T Chicago where the word "Kenwood" is still to be seen as the name of an avenue and of a few shops. Eighty years ago this region was the quiet, conservative suburb Kenwood of the rapidly growing city Chicago. In this suburb Gilbert Ames Bliss was born, on May 9, 1876. His father had long been associated with various electrical enterprises, and shortly after 1880 became president of one of the early Chicago Edison companies. Thus through his childhood the young Gilbert Ames heard much about the new and revolutionary inventions of the day, and soon acquired what was to be a lifelong interest in scientific subjects. Another abiding interest had its roots in those youthful days in Kenwood. While Gilbert Ames was still a schoolboy his older brother had become prominent in bicycle racing, which then was far more popular and fashionable in the United States than it now is; at one time he held two world's records in this sport. Naturally the whole family took an interest in competitive sports, and Gilbert Ames retained this interest all his life.

    Leonard Dickson's History of the Theory of Numbers

    Revue d’histoire des math´ematiques, 5 (1999), p. 159–179. LEONARD DICKSON’S HISTORY OF THE THEORY OF NUMBERS: AN HISTORICAL STUDY WITH MATHEMATICAL IMPLICATIONS Della D. FENSTER (*) ABSTRACT. — In 1911, the research mathematician Leonard Dickson embarked on a historical study of the theory of numbers which culminated in the publication of his three-volume History of the Theory of Numbers. This paper discusses the genesis of this work, the historiographic style revealed therein, and the mathematical contributions which arose out of it. RESUM´ E´.—HISTORY OF THE THEORY OF NUMBERS DE LEONARD DICKSON: ETUDE´ HISTORIQUE AVEC DES PROLONGEMENTS MATHEMATIQUES´ . —En 1911, le math´ematicien Leonard Dickson s’est lanc´e dans une ´etude historique de la th´eorie des nombres, qui a culmin´e avec la publication de son History of the Theory of Numbers en trois volumes. Notre ´etude examine la gen`ese de ce travail, l’approche historiographique qui la sous-tend et les contributions math´ematiques qui en d´ecoulent. In 1911, only a decade into what would become a forty-year-long career in the mathematics department at the University of Chicago, Leonard Dickson had a r´esum´e which solidly identified him as a distinguished mathematician. He had, for example, authored roughly 150 mathematical papers (primarily in group theory at this point) and three books, served as editor of the American Mathematical Monthly from 1902 to 1908 and recently assumed this post for the Transactions of the American Math- ematical Society, and passed swiftly through the ranks from assistant to associate to full professor at one of the premiere mathematics institutions in this country.
