Thereupon did the ex-Premier flush with anger, despite the fact that he is a professor of mathematics, a critic of the Einstein theory. He dropped the big book with a bang and with 20 of his Socialist colleagues he dashed across the Chambre to storm the Royalist benches. Six uniformed sergeants-at-arms rushed forward to stop the threatened melée; one seized M. Painlevé around the waist, but it was useless; they were outnumbered. Blows, kicks, curses, cuffs rained in profusion...

...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 the fact that all branches of modern science depend upon highly complex mathematical tools, as is evidenced by the judgment of the committee on award, which...
