Abstract
A notable gift for the promotion of mathematical interests in America was announced by the Mathematical Association of America at its summer meeting in September, 1921. Mrs. Mary Hegeler Carus, as trustee for the Edward C. Hegeler Trust Fund, donated to the Association the sum of $1200 annually for five years for the purpose of publishing a series of monographs whose purpose should he to popularize mathematics by making accessible at nominal cost the best thoughts and keenest researches in this field set forth in expository form comprehensible to teachers and students of mathematics and to other readers of mathematical intelligence. The deed of gift includes the promise to capitalize this annual income by a permanent endowment fund if at the end of five years the project shall have proved successful. The trustees of the Association are taking steps to select a board of editors who shall have charge of all details connected with the publication of the proposed monographs.
