| Title | Referee's report by Edmund Taylor Whittaker, on a paper 'On the independence of sums of squares in the analysis of variance' by S S Wilks |
| Date | 24 April 1934 |
| Description | Sectional Committee: Mathematics
Not recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. The paper treats the subject with undue elaboration, without presenting any new fact or advance. Doubts 'the wisdom of encouraging papers by non-Fellows on topics that lie outside the group of subjects to which Proceedings A is chiefly devoted - namely Mathematical Physics, Experimental Physics, and Physical Chemistry'.
