✦ Synopsis

Mathematical physics played an ambiguous role during the establishment and growth of the American mathematical community. During the early years of this century, mathematical physics diminished in importance relative to newer areas of study. But by the end of World War I, some members of the American mathematical community recognized that mathematics could benefit, materially and scientifically, from increased attention to mathematical physics. This paper examines the way mathematical physics figured in the ideas and actions of key leaders of the development of the American mathematical community.
