He estimated it would cost $3,000 to $4,000 per year for each senior
man, and asked that that sum should be added to his salary, if he
would not have to pay income tax on it. He 2nd Dr. Weyl had discussed
the fallowing men for the faculty: Alexander, Axtin, Alex-.
androff, kfschetz, Dirac, Emy Noether. For the younger men:
Albert, Douglas, G8del, Gelfont, Dewey, Uhftney, McShane. After he
left Weyl the following nzmes occurred to Veblen: Stone, Whitehead,
and Bohnenblust. Weyl, he said, eqhasized need of a first-class
modern algebraist. He also urged that it wss necessary to recruit
younger m n for the faculty, and insisted that there should be no
distinction in title between the younger and older men.
It should be noted especially that uniform saltries were not contemplated
