Naumann on TRP

[Richard Romeo]

well, i rushed over to SIBL (sci, bus, industry library) of NYPL to get me a 
copy of Hilbert's biography written in 1970 by Constance Reid--noted first 
off that one of those who took their degree with Hilbert was guy named 
Ludwig Foppl (in 1912)

let folks know of other interesting things if I find'em
