Dismissal from Texas?
The page for Tenure mentions the 'notorious case' of his dismissal from Texas after 19 years of service, but I don't see any mention here. Does anyone know what this refers to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.75.80.96 (talk) 17:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

 * "... Halsted’s relentless promotion of Moore for a faculty position at Texas, fueled by RLM’s novel proof of a redundancy in the geometry of Hilbert, became the last straw in Halsted’s strained relationship with the regents and led to his ﬁring."
 * A bio page at UT Austin only says that Halsted "resigned" . Jmath666 (talk) 20:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
