> the eastern theater of war. On the basis of the present work, he was
> admitted to the doctoral examination in July 1914 by the Faculty of

> Keeping a distance from calculations, with an orientation only on the
> concepts themselves, and with a wonderful view of the essentials of
> things - this twenty-two-year-old has created a work that has not been
> outdated by subsequent developments. These more recent developments of
> the theory of ideals aim for the most general structure of
> decomposition theorems, while maintaining essential finiteness
> conditions in the form of chain sets; while here the finiteness
> conditions are relaxed as much as possible, the structure of the
> decomposition is largely retained. The combination of the two points
> of view will open up new directions for the theory of ideals.
