ABSTRACT
The senior faculty members were Adrian Albert, S. S. Chern, Marshall Stone, André Weil, Antoni Zygmund, and myself. Albert was a holdover from the old Chicago department, but Stone brought in Chern, me, Weil, and Zygmund, a remarkable quartet of senior appointments in such a short time that would have given a big shot in the arm to any department, and it certainly did so to Chicago.
