About Oswald Veblen
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Veblen
Oswald Veblen (June 24, 1880 – August 10, 1960) was an American mathematician, geometer and topologist, whose work found application in atomic physics and the theory of relativity. He proved the Jordan curve theorem in 1905; while this was long considered the first rigorous proof, many now also consider Jordan's original proof rigorous.
Oswald Veblen was an important mathematician and influential professor at Princeton. For his biography see: http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Veblen.html
