Grace Chisholm Young March 15, 1868 - March 29, 1944 Grace Chisholm Young was born on March 15, 1868, near London, England. She was the youngest of three surviving children. Her father was Warden of the Standards in the British government, in charge of the department of weights and measures. Her brother was sent to grammar school, a prestigious boarding school, and then earned a top scholarship to Oxford, but in the custom of the times in England, Grace and her sister were taught at home by their mother and a governess. Her family encouraged her to become involved in social work among the London poor but Chisholm wanted to continue her studies. Her mother would not allow her to study medicine so she decided to study mathematics at Girton College, part of Cambridge University. Girton, opened in 1869, was the first school in England dedicated to educating women at the university level. Chisholm entered Girton in 1889 at the age of 21. Women could not earn formal degrees at Cambridge at that time, but in 1893 she passed her final examinations (Mathematics Tripos) and scored the equivalent of a first-class degree. Chisholm wanted to continue in mathematics but women were not yet admitted to graduate schools in England so she went to Gottingen in Germany to study with Felix Klein. This was one of the major mathematical centers in the world. The decision to admit her had to be approved by the Berlin Ministry of Culture. She earned the Ph.D. magna cum laude at the age of 27. Again government approval had to be obtained to allow her to take the examination. She thus became the first woman to officially receive a doctorate in any field in Germany. As Sylvia Wiegand writes in [5]

Grace Chisholm Young Mathematician Biography Project Group Ginnie Lintecum Tommy McDermott Thomas Willis December 1, 1999 Grace Chisholm Young contributed much to the areas of pure and applied mathematics. She was born Grace Chisholm, the youngest of three surviving children, on March 15, 1968 in Haslemere, Surrey, England, near London. Her Father was Henry William Chisholm who was a British career civil servant and who later became chief of Britain’s weights and measures. Grace was educated at home and her mother crushed her hopes of studying medicine, so she was led to the field of mathematics. She attended Griton College, part of Cambridge University in 1889 when she was twenty-one years old. At Griton she was the school’s Sir Francis Goldschmid Scholar of mathematics, and earned first-class degree honors. She sat informally for final mathematics examinations at Oxford, where her brother had earned a top scholarship, and placed first. At the time, in England, women were not admitted to graduate schools. Despite this, Grace Chisholm was determined to get a higher degree in Mathematics.

Klein 's attitude towards women:- Professor Klein 's attitude is this, he will not countenance the admission of any woman who has not already done good work, and can bring proof of the same in the form of degrees or their equivalent ... and further he will not take any further steps till he has assured himself by a personal interview of the solidity of her claims. Professor Klein 's view is moderate. There are members of the Faculty here who are more eagerly in favour of the admission of women and others who disapprove altogether.

While at Girton, Grace had a tutor by the name of William Young, whom she married the year after she received her Ph.D. at Gottingen. Grace and William spent the next 44 years together. They produced more than 200 mathematical papers and books, many of which were in William’s name. Grace had a very major role in producing these papers. William noted in an article in 1914 that he had discussed the major idea of the work with his wife, and Grace had elaborated on the argument and put it into publishable form. Grace produced many papers on her own despite the fact that her husband was away from the family for large parts of the year and she was left in Switzerland to take care of the children. She wrote a paper in 1915 on the foundations of calculus that won the Gamble Prize at Cambridge. She and her husband also published books on geometry and set theory.

William Henry Young Born: 20 Oct 1863 in London, England Died: 7 July 1942 in Lausanne, Switzerland Click the picture above to see a larger version Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index William Young 's father was Henry Young, a grocer, and his mother was Hephzibah Jeal. William was his parents' eldest son and he was brought up by his parents as a Baptist. He attended the City of London School where the headmaster was particularly fascinated by mathematics. This headmaster was Edwin A Abott, who was the author of the famous popular mathematical work Flatland. He immediately saw the potential that Young had for mathematics and he encouraged him in that direction. In 1881 Young entered Peterhouse, Cambridge to begin his undergraduate studies of mathematics. At Cambridge Young was an outstanding student showing far more mathematical ability than any of the other students in his year. However to achieve the position of First Wrangler (the top position in the list of First Class graduates) in the Mathematical Tripos required enormous dedication and training in the type of examination questions set in the Tripos. It would be fair to say that the First Wrangler was the most skilled at answering Tripos questions rather than the best mathematician and many of the great mathematicians who attended Cambridge failed to gain this distinction. Young was one such student for he made a very conscience decision that becoming First Wrangler was less important to him than having varied interests, both academic and sporting, at university. He was fourth wrangler in 1884. While at Cambridge he put aside the Baptist religion of his family and as baptised into the Church of England.

Arrangement of the archive The Young papers have been listed in the categories into which they had been sorted before their deposit in the University Archives in 1976. This organisation was preserved as adding a valuable extra dimension to the archive since it was the work of successive persons with detailed knowledge of the family and mathematical background. One of these organisers of the archive was the eldest daughter, Dr Cecily Tanner, who wrote a note explaining the background thus: "Both William Henry and Grace Chisholm Young had as their first love an interest in history and this included family history. William Henry Young particularly hoped that as it did for him, their own life and the upbringing of their children, as far as preserved letters might show, would give the next generation a conscious sense of their background in their own careers. Other papers were systematically destroyed because each successive home was to be a temporary one, and last no more than seven years at the outside, until in the later 1920s the idea of a return to England for permanent family residence was abandoned.
