Rudio complemented this idea with the proposal of creating a biographical dictionary of current mathematicians, which would include portraits of the most important.
The number of women mathematicians attending also increased from four in Zurich to six in Paris. They were, as reported in the pro- 25 ✐ ✐ ✐ ceedings, Madame Ely Achsale from Poughkeepsie, New York; Madame A. Jolles from Berlin; Madame Olga Sabine from Moscow; Mademoiselle Elna Sarauw from Copenhagen; Madame Vera Schiff from St. Petersburg; and Miss Charlotte Angas Scott from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.

He also mentioned the need for a general classification of mathematics that would help the bibliographic effort.
