- From Review of R. L. Moore: Mathematician and Teacher. By John Parker. Mathematical Association of America, Washington, DC, 2005, by David E. Zitarelli, American Mathematical Monthly 113:2, 2006, pp. 187-192 [1] on p. 190:

- A bio page at UT Austin only says that Halsted "resigned" [2]. Jmath666 (talk) 20:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- The book has the info, added in this edit to the article. Jmath666 (talk) 00:30, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
