Gertrude Mary Cox was an American statistician and founder of the department of Experimental Statistics at North Carolina State University. She was later appointed director of both the Institute of Statistics of the Consolidated University of North Carolina and the Statistics Research Division of North Carolina State University. Her most important and influential research dealt with experimental design; In 1950 she published the book Experimental Designs, on the subject with W. G. Cochran, which became the major reference work on the design of experiments for statisticians for years afterwards. In 1949 Cox became the first woman elected into the International Statistical Institute and in 1956 was President of the American Statistical Association.
Mina Spiegel Rees was an American mathematician. She was the first female to become dean of the Division of Graduate Studies at the CUNY and to become president of CUNY's Graduate School. As a mathematician, Rees was the first female to become the President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1971) and head of the mathematics department of the Office of Naval Research of the United States. She was also the first ever to be awarded the Mathematical Association of America's Award for Service to Mathematics. Rees was a pioneer in the history of computing and helped establish funding streams and institutional infrastructure for research. She received the Public Welfare Medal, the highest honor of the National Academy of Sciences; the King's Medal for Service in the Cause of Freedom (UK) and at least 18 honorary doctorates.
