It has been conclusively proved that the cerebrospinal* route for the administratiod of streptomycin is essential in the treatment of tuberculous meningitis (Medical Research Council, 1948; Rubie and Mohun, 1949). Only a few workers consider it unnecessary (Levinson, 1949; Mouriquand, 1948). There is, however, less general agreement about the optimum site of cerebrospinal administration of stre...

Julian Schwinger has given us a brilliant exposition of the renormalization ideas associated with his, Tomonaga's and Dyson's names. My task is to take the story up from the exciting days of 1949 to the present. As Schwinger has reminded us, even though renormalization and infinities are logically distinct, it was the persistent infinities encountered in field theories which brought the necessi...

The extent and value of voluntary insurance against sickness may be assessed in terms of the number of persons and families with such insurance or in terms of the proportion of costs, due to sickness, that are met by the voluntary plans. There is no satisfactory information on the number of different individuals covered, but estimates of the proportion of sickness costs met by voluntary plans c...

representing the organizing committee of this conference, wrote to me, suggesting that I make a few remarks about Niels Vigand Pedersen. I had known Niels only since 1988 but we had became very good friends and had much to talk about, not only in mathematics but about many other things. Although there are many here who knew him longer and more deeply than I had ever known him, nevertheless our ...
