The Nikodyms in The Kenyon Collegian
Otton and Stanisława Nikodym arrived at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, USA in 1948. The Kenyon Collegian, founded in 1856, was published weekly during the academic year by the students of Kenyon College. We list below some of the articles in The Kenyon Collegian which refer to one of the two Nikodyms.

1. Ottoni Nikodym Joins Mathematics Department.
The Kenyon Collegian 73 (10) (23 February 1948).
Dr Ottoni Martin Nikodym, Polish mathematician of international repute, has joined the Kenyon College faculty this semester, while Dr W R Transue is on leave of absence to work at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at the University of Paris.
Dr Nikodym's work includes important contributions to the theory of measure, functional analysis, and Boolean fields with applications to mathematical physics. Before the war he was a professor at the University of Technology in Cracow. During the last few years he has lectured at the Institute des Hautes Etudes, Brussels, at the Institut H Poincaré in Paris and at the University of London. His interests have not been confined, however, to pure mathematics alone, since his long list of writings include articles on the teaching of mathematics and the relation of his subject to society.

Dr Stanisława Nikodym [is appointed] as visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics. Dr Nikodym was born in Moscow and studied at the Gymnasium of Latin in Warsaw and the University of Warsaw where she was granted her Doctor's Degree in Mathematics. She was an instructor in Higher Mathematics for six years at the Higher Polytechnical School in Warsaw and has delivered lectures on topology to the International Congress of Mathematicians at Bologna. She is the author of numerous textbooks and papers, printed in Polish, Italian, and French.

Stanisława Nikodym is a new member of the Mathematics Department. Mrs Nikodym, whose husband has been a member of Kenyon's Mathematics Department for many years, has taught at the College on other occasions and will have the title of Visiting Associate Professor of Mathematics. She was educated at the University of Warsaw. Singly or in collaboration she has published works on mathematical analysis, differential calculus, topology and related subjects.

The Kenyon Collegian 86 (1) (2 October 1959).
Otton M Nikodym has returned to the campus after a summer in Europe during which he lectured at scientific centres in Belgium, France, and West Germany. Prof Nikodym spoke on some results of his recent research in modern abstract mathematics and their application to theoretical quantum physics.
At the Belgium Mathematical Centre his topic was A Canonical Representation Of Maximal Normal Operators in Hilbert-Hermite space. Before the Belgium Mathematical Society, of which he is an honorary member, he spoke on Dirac's Delta-function.
In Paris, Prof Nikodym was welcomed by the president of the French Academy of Sciences on the proposal of Prof Louis de Broglie, Nobel prize winner in physics. His lectures in that city were delivered at the Institut Henri Poincaré and at a mathematical seminar at the Sorbonne. The seminar was under the direction of Prof Pierre Lelong whom President De Galle has named scientific attaché.
In West Germany, Prof Nikodym spoke at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Heidelberg.

Robert Roth, class of '53, and his wife, Micheline Roth from Boston Massachusetts, recently gave Kenyon $10,000 in support of a new computer-equipped classroom in Peirce Hall.
The Roths' contribution will name the room for two late Kenyon Professors of Mathematics, Daniel T Finkbeiner II and Otton M Nikodym.
