Abstract
WE regret to notice the death, in his sixtieth year, of Prof. James Harkness of McGill University, Montreal. Born at Derby, Harkness became a scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge, and graduated as eighth wrangler in 1885. After five years at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania, as associate professor and professor of mathematics, he accepted, in 1903, the Peter Redpath chair of pure mathematics at McGill, and resigned it in 1913. He was formerly vice-president of the American Mathematical Society and assisted in editing the Society's Transactions. The degree of LL.D. was conferred on him by McGill in 1921.
