A chapter in International Mathematical Congresses, 1987, pp 2-3 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract As part of the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition, celebrating the 400th anniversary of Columbus’s discovery of America, a series of scientific and philosophical congresses was scheduled, among them a “world congress” of mathematicians and astronomers. Felix Klein of Göttingen brought a number of contributions from European mathematicians and opened the Congress with a brief address on “The Present State of Mathematics,” in which he emphasized that “what was formerly begun by a single mastermind, we now must seek to accomplish by united efforts and cooperation.”
