Abstract
The first International Congress of Mathematicians following the World War was held in Strasbourg, but neither it nor the 1924 congress in Toronto were truly international. From them had been excluded members from Germany, Bulgaria, Austria, and Hungary. But at the Toronto congress the delegates from the U.S.A. proposed that this restriction be removed, and this proposal was supported by Italy, Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Norway, and Great Britain. The difficulties were not entirely cleared up, but under the leadership of Salvatore Pincherle most of the obstacles were overcome at the 1928 congress in Bologna where, after the Italians, the Germans were the most numerous.
