A chapter in International Mathematical Congresses, 1987, pp 30-31 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the summer of 1958 mathematicians gathered for their third post-war congress in Edinburgh, the romantic stronghold of the Scotch. It had been hoped that the Congress would be presided over by Sir Edmund Whittaker, “that great figure in the life of the City and University of Edinburgh, so much respected and loved in the mathematical world.” Whittaker, however, had died in 1956; and W.V. D. Hodge, Cambridge,regret fully took his place.
