In particular he talks about James W. Alexander and Solomon Lefschetz and about the social atmosphere in Fine Hall. Tucker contributes some of his recollections about Alexander and the dedication ceremony at Fine Hall, and he compares the mathematical community at Princeton with that at Harvard and Chicago. Whitney tells how an incident with Charles Morrey led him (Whitney) to write an important paper. University of Minnesota, MinneapolisH. S.

He tells most about James Alexander, Alonzo Church, Luther Eisenhart, Solomon Lefschetz, and H. P. Robertson.

Tucker, 1984 Apr. 13.Transcript : 12 p.Tucker tells how the journal Annals of Mathematics, which was begun in 1884 by a professor of mathematics at the University of Virginia, became a Princeton publication, with J. H. M. Wedderburn and later Solomon Lefschetz doing most of the editing. Tucker also describes the editorial policies of Lefschetz. Other journals that Tucker talks about are Journal of Symbolic Logic and Annals of Mathematical Statistics. He describes in some detail--having had himself the leading role in the story--how Annals of Mathematical Studies came into being and how it developed.

(1 boxes)The collection consists of written transcripts of 42 interviews with surviving faculty and students of the mathematics community in Princeton in the 1930s. Also included among the interviews are 3 written contributions. Most of the discussion focuses on the institutional and social context of the development of an eminent mathematical research and graduate education center, and on the personalities and biographies of the individuals involved. Information about technical accomplishments within mathematics are only peripherally considered. Common topics include reasons for coming to Princeton, assessments of the educational and research programs, and the effects of the Depression and the European political situation on academic life.

Tucker, 1979 Apr. 9.Transcript : 17 p.Tucker talks about J. W. Alexander, his family background, his education, and his personality. Two other topologists that Tucker talks about are Solomon Lefschetz (who introduced the word "topology" into English) and R. L. Moore (who visited Princeton in the 1930s). Tucker recounts his experiences with Marston Morse, first when Tucker was a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard, and later after Morse accepted a position at the Institute for Advanced Study. Then Tucker describes Oswald Veblen and Alonzo Church, and discusses his interest in the history of matrix algebra. University of Minnesota, MinneapolisVandiver, Harry Schultz, 1882-.
