Extractions: August 2, 1902 - October 25, 1997 Picture taken in 1970 at the time of her election as the first woman president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Mina Rees was born on August 2, 1902, in Cleveland, Ohio, but she grew up and attended public school in New York City, where she was the valedictorian of her class at Hunter College High School. She then when on to major in mathematics at Hunter College, graduating summa cum laude in 1923, while also holding a part-time teaching job for the mathematics department. After graduation Rees taught at the Hunter College High School while working on a master's degree at Columbia University. In an interview for Mathematical People, she says that she heard, unofficially, that "the Columbia mathematics department was really not interested in having women candidates for Ph.D's." So she settled for her M.A. degree in 1925 and accepted a position as an instructor of mathematics at Hunter College. She still planned to get her Ph.D., however, so with the help of a sabbatical from Hunter, she went to the University of Chicago in 1929 to study with Leonard Dickson. She received her Ph.D. in 1931 with a thesis on "Division algebras asssociated with an equation whose group has four generators," published in American Journal of Mathematics, Vol 54 (1932), 51-65. Ress returned to the faculty at Hunter College as an assistant professor and was promoted to associate professor in 1940. During World War II she took a leave of absense from Hunter to work as a technical aide and executive assistant with the Applied Mathematics Panel in the Office of Scientific Research and Development. This panel assisted the war effort by bringing together mathematicians from many disciplines to work on problems posed by the military branches. After the war the Navy invited Rees to become head of the mathematics branch of the Office of Naval Research to support scientific and mathematical research. During 1952-1953 she served as the deputy science directory for the ONR. In 1953, the council of the American Mathematical Society adopted a resolution which said:

Extractions: Mina Rees grew up in New York City and attended public school there. She attended Hunter College High School with which she was to have a long association. She graduated with distinction in 1923 and was appointed as an assistant teacher at the school while she continued her studies at Columbia University. In an interview, see [1], she spoke of the attitude that she encountered there:- When I had taken four of their six-credit graduate courses in mathematics and was beginning to think about a thesis, the word was conveyed to me - no official ever told me this but I learned - that the Columbia mathematics department was really not interested in having women candidates for Ph.D's. This was a very unpleasant shock. ... I decided to switch to Teacher's College and take the remaining courses necessary for an M.A. there. After receiving her M.A. in 1925 she returned to Hunter College where she was appointed to the post of instructor. Determined not to allow the attitude of Columbia University to prevent her from completing her doctorate, she enrolled at the University of Chicago in 1929 after obtaining leave of absence from Hunter College. At Chicago her doctorate was supervised by
