On December 29, 1902, Professor E. H. Moore of the University of Chicago delivered the Presidential Address before the American Mathematical Society, “On the Foundations of Mathematics.” It is with great hesitation that I make any attempt to consider this epoch-making pronouncement of the views and visions, ideals and hopes, of this noted mathematician and general thinker as regards mathematical content and methods.

The Yearbook of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, published last February, contains much of permanent importance, and in particular two papers by men of foremost authority and influence. One is by Professor E. H. Moore, his presidential address to the American Mathematical Society in 1902, a plan for progress and a hopeful forecast at the beginning of the new century; the other a cheerful summary of progress since that time and some indication of present tendencies by David Eugene Smith.

Long Period

This account of our Society is based to some extent on my Presidential address, which was given on 19 October 1977 and was devoted to the first fifty years.In the latter half of the nineteenth century there was an upsurge of interest in mathematics that resulted in the foundation of a number of mathematical societies in different countries. The London Mathematical Society (1865), the Moscow Mathematical Society (1867), the Société Mathématique de France (1873), the Edinburgh Mathematical Society (1883) and the New York (later American) Mathematical Society (1888) were all founded in this period. There had, of course, been earlier more local societies, such as the Spittalfields Mathematical Society, which flourished over a long period before becoming defunct, as well as one or two much older bodies, for example the Mathematische Gesellschaft in Hamburg (1690), which still survive.
