A special meeting of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society was held in the Mathematical Institute, Edinburgh, on Friday, 17th May 1957, to commemorate Sir Edmund Whittaker's work. Present at this meeting were Sir Edmund's widow, Lady Whittaker, and members of her family.

Dr J. M. Whittaker, F.E.S., on behalf of Lady Whittaker and family, asked the Society to accept the sum of £500 to be used to provide a prize which would be awarded for meritorious work in mathematics by young mathematicians in Scotland.
