Abstract
THERE are few towns better suited for a scientific gathering than Heidelberg, and few scientific gatherings have passed off so successfully as the third International Mathematical Congress which met there from August 8 to 13. The number of mathematicians attending the congress was 330, giving with holders of ladies' tickets a total membership of nearly 400. The German Government, the Grand Duke of Baden, the municipal and university authorities of Heidelberg, the Deutsche Mathematiker Vereinigung, and an influential executive committee all joined in giving the congress a hearty welcome, and the local arrangements were perfect.
