Entrepreneurial and energetic, Lefschetz was the supercharged human locomotive that... pulled the Princeton department out of genteel mediocrity right to the top. He recruited mathematicians with only one criterion in mind: research. His high-handed and idiosyncratic editorial policies made the Annals of Mathematics, Princeton's once-tired monthly, into the most revered mathematical journal in the world.
Entrepreneurial at masipag, Lefschetz ay ang supercharged tao makina ng tren na... mahila ang Princeton departamento ng makisig kapangkaraniwanan kanan sa itaas. He recruited mathematicians na may isa lamang criterion sa isip: research. Kanyang mataas-na-kamay at idyosinkratiko editoryal na mga patakaran na ginawa ng Annals of Mathematics, Princeton's kapag-pagod buwanan, sa pinaka-revered matematiko journal sa mundo.
