Abstract
WE regret to announce that Prof. Ganesh Prasad died on March 9, with unexpected suddenness. Born in Ballia, a small town in the United Provinces, India, on November 15, 1876, Prasad took the D.Sc. degree of the University of Allahabad at the age of twenty-two years, and then studied at Cambridge and Gottingen as a Government of India scholar. After serving for ten years as a professor of mathematics in his native province on his return from Europe, in 1914 he joined the University of Calcutta as the Ghosh professor of applied mathematics. He left this post four years later to join the Benares Hindu University as its University professor, but came back to Calcutta in 1923, this time as the Hardinge professor of pure mathematics, which post he occupied until the time of his death. While he was in the Benares Hindu University, he was also the principal of the Arts and Science College for about two years.
