Allen L. Shields Fellowship
Professor Shields gained worldwide recognition for his research in topological semigroups, complex analysis, and operator theory. He was especially well known for his work combining functional analysis with problems of classical analysis. During the last three years of his life, Professor Shields wrote a series of historical articles for the “Years Ago” column of The Mathematical Intelligencer. After his death in 1989 from cancer, a special issue (Spring 1990) was dedicated to his memory.

Proquest Distinguished Dissertation
The ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Award recognizes exceptional and unusually interesting work produced by doctoral students. Each year, Rackham invites faculty to nominate outstanding dissertations produced in their programs. The nomination dossiers submitted are then read and discussed by a review panel of faculty members who identify the finalists. Then, members of the Michigan Society of Fellows read the finalists' dissertations, review their merits, and select the winners.

Sumner B. Myers Thesis Award
The Mathematics Department established the Sumner B. Myers Prize for the best Ph.D. thesis in mathematics each year. The award honors the memory of Professor Myers, a well-known differential geometer who served in the department from 1936 to his untimely death in 1955. No award is made unless a thesis is judged to be truly distinguished.
