Mathematician Wins. A $1,000 prize, for the most valuable contribution to science presented at the current meetings, was awarded to Dr. Leonard E. Dickson, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Chicago. His achievement was a general mathematical theory including as special cases certain fundamental branches, such as quaternions and vector analysis. It is comparable in importance to the so-called calculus of Ricci and Levi Civita, which formed the mathematical basis for Einstein's general relativity theory. Unfortunately, these theories are so abstruse that only the trained mathematician can penetrate their mysteries. Laymen must take on faith...
After seeing Mr. Vanderlip the reporter interviewed Professor J. H. Beale '82, a colleague of Professor Hudson's in the Law School. Professor Beale said that whereas he knew that Professor Hudson had submitted a plan of the same type as that which won the award, he doubted that...
...quite in his style. But I have been told on reliable authority that Hudson's plan was a close contender for the honor. The choice was made from seven or eight similar plans, of which Hudson's was undoubtedly one, though Dean Pound, a member of the Jury of Award did not know until after the decision was made that Professor Hudson had submitted a plan...
...winning plan selected by the jury of The American Peace Award offered by Edward W. Bok is briefly, a proposal that we should not only enter the Permanent Court, but also, cooperate with the League of Nations more closely than we have heretofore. In detail, the plan suggests certain necessary and almost inevitable modifications of the Covenant of the League, it acknowledges that we should be a member of the League, and it proposes an immediate step in the direction of membership. The Jury of Award--consisting of Elihu Root, James Guthrie Harbord, Edward M. House, Ellen Fitz Pendleton, Roscoe...
