PROF. H. S. RUSE, who has succeeded Prof. S. Brodetsky as head of the Department of Mathematics in the University of Leeds, was an undergraduate at Jesus College, Oxford, during 1924–27. After spending nearly ten years as a lecturer on the mathematical staff at the University of Edinburgh, he became professor at University College, Southampton, in 1937 and he remained there until he went to Leeds in 1946 as successor to Prof. W. P. Milne on his retirement from the chair of mathematics. In 1931 Ruse spent a period in Rome working with the late Prof. Levi-Civitá, and in 1933–34 he was on leave of absence from. Edinburgh working with Prof. Oswald Veblen at the University of Princeton. Prof. Ruse‘s main interest is relativity and tensor analysis and he has published a great many original papers in this field in the leading mathematical journals.
