Abstract
ARTHUR ERNEST JOLLIFFE, who retired from the professorship of mathematics in the University of London (King's College) in 1936, died in Oxford on March 17, 1944. He was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, won the Junior and Senior University Mathematical Scholarships and, shortly after taking his degree, was elected to a fellowship at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in 1892. After a year at Lampeter as lecturer, he returned to Oxford as mathematical tutor at Corpus, a post which he held until 1920. He was then appointed professor of mathematics at Royal Holloway College, from which he proceeded to the professorship at King's in 1924.
