Let X be a real or complex normed space and L(X) the algebra of all bounded linear operators on X. Suppose there exists a *-algebra B(X) ⊂ L(X) which contains the identity operator I and all bounded linear operators with finite-dimensional range. The main result is: if each operator U ∈ B(X) with the property U*U = UU* = I has norm one then X is a Hilbert space.
