Levine tells of coming to Princeton as a graduate student in 1930. He talks about the faculty, including J. H. M. Wedderburn, Einar Hille, Luther Eisenhart, Solomon Lefschetz, and especially T. Y. Thomas, under whom Levine did his Ph.D. thesis. Levine then discusses others, including H. F. Bohnenblust, Malcolm Robertson, and E. J. McShane. Levine describes Fine Hall and especially the various activities that went on in the common room.

The 1930s saw the flowering of a unique mathematical community at Princeton University, sparked by the construction of a luxurious new building Fine Hall (now Jones Hall) designed to facilitate a real community of mathematicians engaged in research and closely linked with mathematical physicists in the attached Palmer physics laboratory. This community was unlike any other in America before that time and perhaps afterwards, and had important consequences for American mathematics. With the planni...
