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.

Professor Herbert Ellsworth Slaught, honorary president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, passed away on May 21, 1937, at his home in Chicago in his seventy-sixth year. Professor Slaught's death removes from the scene of action one of the most devoted servants of the cause of mathematics in this country. For many years he was active not only in the affairs of the National Council, but also in those of the Mathematical Association of America, The American Mathematical Society, the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers and several local organizations. He was a leader in the best sense. He was interested not only in promulgating and encouraging research activities, but was also active in stimulating others to study and improve the teaching of mathematics in secondary schools. He was instrumental in founding the Mathematical Association of America in 1916, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in 1920. His death is a distinct loss to all the mathematical organizations that he served so long and so well.

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.

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.

Three or four years ago the National Council published a review of progress in the teaching of mathematics during the preceding twentyfive years. Among the contributions to that end was the reprinting of an address made to the American Mathematical Society in 1902 by its President, E. H. Moore.

Of the three national organizations devoted to the promotion of mathematics, the oldest is the American Mathematical Society, which this September is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of its founding in 1888. The Mathematical Association of America, which usually holds its summer meeting in conjunction with that of the Society, this year is omitting its meeting altogether and inviting its membership to share in the celebration of the older organization. It is the desire of the Society to extend an invitation to participate also to the membership of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
