The international Mathematical Congress at Rome

Abstract

THE congress of 1908 has been considerably larger than its three predecessors. Up to April 4, the official membership list contained 648 names, but later additions have increased the number of those present to about 530 members, and 167 ladies accompanying them. The weather has been of the same unsettled character that we are accustomed to describe as “British Association weather,” but the brilliancy of the gatherings has not been materially affected by the spells of rain.
