The Congress at Zürich

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

A not unnatural consequence of my having complied with a request to act as a Delegate of the Mathematical Association at the International Congress of Mathematicians, which was held at Zürich during the week September 4-12, is that I have been asked to write a short account of the Congress for the Gazette. It is a little difficult to avoid giving merely an epitome of the official programme; and my difficulties are somewhat increased by my having, like many others, deliberately abstained from attending the Congresses at Strassburg and Toronto in 1920 and 1924, for reasons which are now, happily, a matter of past history, and by my having been unavoidably prevented from going to Bologna in 1928; in fact my only previous experience of a Congress was gained at Cambridge in 1912.
