our conference we received from:
“Although years ago I had done a fair amount of work on Grassmann, my
research interests have now moved in other directions. Also I am retired and
now do only limited travel. Consequently, I will not participate, but I send
every best wish to you and your participants, especially Albert Lewis,
Lloyd Kannenberg, and Ivor Grattan-Guinness, whom I have known for many
years. I'll watch for the translation of your biography and for the
proceedings of the conference.” R. Steven Turner, Department of
History, It seems that we have good reasons to look forward to our conference with great enthusiasm.
