GETS APP()IISTMET
Lefschetz Will Instruct
In Princeton Math
Department.
Dr. Solomon Lefschetz, former
faculty member of the University
ot Nebraska, has just been ap
pointed to the Henry Burchard
Fine chair of mathematics at the
Princeton university, where he has
served in the mathematics depart
ment for the past nine years ac

has achieved greatness by fighting
against the greatest odds that a
mathematician could hop to en
counter. He lost both of his hands
in a chemical explosion early in his
life, and has done his physical
mathematical calculating as well
as all other "Handpowered" work
with the help of mechanical pegs
for fingers.
