โœฆ Synopsis

In the spirit of the Havemeyers and J. Pierpont Morgan, George Arthur Plimpton (1855-1936), longtime president of Ginn & Company, relied upon the cooperation and counsel of Columbia's Teachers College mathematics professor and historian, David Eugene Smith , in assembling the well-known collection of mathematical memorabilia that composes the Plimpton Collection of the Columbia University Library. The story of Plimpton and Smith's collaboration and search for rare manuscripts and texts described in this paper illustrates the kind of beneficial cooperation that has provided important cultural legacies in many fields including mathematics.
