Peirce Society from 1973 to 1975.[3][4] In 1976, Eisele began publishing a multi-volume collection of Peirce's writings that she had edited, the New Elements of Mathematics, and in the same year she helped organize the Peirce Bicentennial International Congress in Amsterdam.[1][2][3] Books
Awards and honorsOn her retirement from Hunter College in 1972, Eisele joined the Hunter Hall of Fame.[3] She was given honorary doctorates from Texas Tech University in 1980 and from Lehigh University in 1982.[1][2][3][4] In 1980, Eisele became an honorary member of the crew of the United States Coast Guard ship USC&GSS Peirce.[3] In 1981, a symposium on Peirce studies was held in her honor at Hunter College, the proceedings of which were published as a festschrift in Historia Mathematica.[1][3] In 1985, Eisele was given the Behavioral Sciences, History and Philosophy of Sciences award from the New York Academy of Sciences.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{citation | last = Ketner | first = Kenneth Laine | doi = 10.1016/0315-0860(82)90126-4 | issue = 3 | journal = Historia Mathematica | mr = 667604 | pages = 326–332 | title = Carolyn Eisele's place in Peirce studies | volume = 9 | year = 1982}}. {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Eisele, Carolyn}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 {{citation | last = Ketner | first = Kenneth Laine | issue = 4 | journal = Transactions of the Charles S.
