Also the form of ^(£) would depend on the particular circle chosen, but one form may be transformed into any other by replacing £ by the product of £ and the appropriate nth root of unity. UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO. EMORY McCLINTOCK. BUT few members of the American Mathematical Society at the present time appreciate the magnitude of the services rendered by its former president, Emory McClintock, who died July 10, 1916. He was born September 19, 1840, at Carlisle, Pa. His father was the Rev. John McClintock, a learned Methodist Episcopal clergyman, for a time professor of mathematics, Latin, and Greek in Dickinson College, and during the Civil War chaplain of the American Chapel in Paris. He is perhaps best known as the author, with another, of a " Cyclopaedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature." McClintock went to school for the first time at the age of thirteen, and a year later entered the freshman year of Dickin­ son College. In 1856, when his father left Dickinson College for New York, he entered Yale, and in 1857 he entered Colum­ bia as a member of the class of 1859. His remarkable ability excited the admiration of his teachers, Professors Charles Davies and William Guy Peck. In April, 1859 in order to meet an emergency caused by the illness of a member of the teaching staff, he was graduated and appointed tutor in mathe­ matics. Soon afterwards his father took charge of the Ameri­ can Chapel in Paris, and in 1860 McClintock resigned his position at Columbia to go abroad.

Carus, to contribute to the dissemination of mathe- matical knowledge by making accessible at nominal cost a series of expository presenta- tions of the best thoughts and keenest re- searches in pure and applied mathematics. The publication of these monographs was made possible by a notable gift to the Mathematical Association of America by Mrs. Carus as sole trustee of the Edward C. Hegeler Trust Fund. The expositions of mathematical subjects which the monographs will contain are to be set forth in a manner comprehensible not only to teach- ers and students specializing in mathematics, but also to scientific workers in other fields, and especially to the wide circle of thoughtful people who, having a moderate acquaintance with elementary mathematics, wish to extend their knowledge without prolonged and critical study of the mathematical journals and trea- tises. The scope of this series includes also historical and biographical monographs.

In 2014, the ADA established the Commission for Continuing Education Provider Recognition to oversee ADA CERP. The Commission evaluates and approves institutions and organizations that provide continuing dental education (CDE). Members of the Commission are appointed by the following organizations: the American Dental Association, the American Association of Dental Boards, the American Dental Education Association, the American Society of Constituent Dental Executives and the organizations representing the nine recognized dental specialties. The Commission evaluates providers of continuing dental education in 14 aspects of program quality. Only CDE providers demonstrating that they meet the ADA CERP Recognition Standards and Procedures are granted ADA CERP approval and are authorized to use the ADA CERP logo and recognition statement. Once approved, CDE providers are held accountable for maintaining those same high standards. ADA CERP does not approve individual courses or credit hours. ADA CERP recognition does not imply endorsement of course content presented. For information about ADA CERP, please contact the Commission for Continuing Education Provider Recognition, 211 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL 60611; phone (312) 440-2869; email [email protected].

  • The Controversy Over the AMS Publishing Original Investigations Steve Batterson
    HISTORY The Controversy over the AMS Publishing Original Investigations Steve Batterson AUTHOR’S NOTE TO THE READER. This article is excerpted, with minor revisions, from the fifth chapter of my book American Mathematics 1890–1913 Catching up to Europe. The chapter is about the early years of the AMS. The Society was founded in 1888 as the New York Mathematical Society out of an initiative from Columbia graduate student Thomas Fiske. A few years later it became a national organization with its present name. Two disputes soon arose that threat- ened to fracture the AMS. The first dispute concerned the establishment of a Chicago regional section to accommodate Midwestern members of the eastern-dominated organization. The second controversy grew out of questions related to appropriate publication venues for original research by American mathematicians. This excerpt concerns the second of these disagreements. Additional archival references are available in [3]. The publication of mathematical research is presently at the sion to serve a wider audience, printed papers of a more core of the AMS mission. This role for the Society seems so intermediate quality. natural that the drama and contention behind the founding For Stone the Annals was a labor of love.
