INFORMATION ON MATHEMATICIAN BEING GATHERED I. U. President Seeks Any Material on Late Arthur Griffith. Time* Spec ini BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Nov. 22. Appeal lor information concerning Arthur Griffith, former Milford prodigy who gained fame before his death for speed in mental multiplication and other feats of calculation, was broadcast today by President William Lowe Bryan of Indiana University President Bryan and President E. H Lindley of the University of Kansas, who 35 years ago investigated the psychological aspects of Griffith’s astounding ability, are planning a tribute to Griffith and desire all possible information concerning him. They are interested in obtaining a copy of a pamphlet which Griffith published before he died, in which he set out his short-cut methods of calculation. President Bryan requests relatives or friends of Griffith to send any information they may have direct to him at Bloomington. President Bryan’s Appeal Pro ident Bryan’s appeal is as follows "In the fall of 1899 Arthur Gris- • fith of Milford, Kosciusko County, Ind . who was at that time a boy of 17, came to Indiana University at the invitation of Prof. E. H. Lindley in order that his remarkable ability as a lightning calculator might be investigated fully "Dr. Lindley and I made a thorough study of his gifts and took him to the American Psyc.hlogieal Association at Yale University in order that the psychologists there might have a demonstration of his powers. A further report upon his case was made at the International Congress of Psychology in Paris in the summer of 1900. "An investigation showed that Arthur Griffith was one of the most remarkable arithmetical prodigies of which there is any record. He said that he had the multiplication table to 1000 and a vast number of other arithmetical relations by heart. Multiply Four Digits “Exact measurements show that he could multiply a number of four digits by another number of four digits in less than 30 seconds. Many other illustrations of his remarkable power were showm at Yale and at Paris. “Arthur’s abilities were such that he was engaged by Keith's to give exhibitions in their vaudeville circuit. A few years after his visit to Bloomington he died. Before his death he published a pamphlet in which he gave a number of his short-cut methods. "Dr. Lindley and I would like to pay a tribute to Arthur and would like to have all the information concerning him that is available. We should be glad to have a copy of his pamphlet of short-cut methods. If any relative or friend of Arthur’s has this pamphlet we should appreciate having it sent to us ”
