Read on December 15, 1977 during a memorial meeting for Kenneth O. May at the University of Toronto.
With Professor Kenneth O. May, the world-wide community of historians of mathematics has lost a colleague who as none other helped to establish the history of mathematics as a discipline in its own right.
Kenneth O. May was a mathematician and historian of mathematics of great vision. He recognized the need for a unified international community of historians of mathematics and worked tirelessly over the last nine years of his life to effect such a change.
