| - Hugh Herbert Wolfenden (13 January 1892, Pangbourne, Berkshire, UK – 26 May 26, 1968, Seattle) was a Canadian actuary and statistician, known primarily as a scholar and historian of the statistical research of Erastus L. De Forest. Born in England, Wolfenden immigrated to Canada at the age of seventeen and worked as an actuary. For over twenty-five years, he was a consulting actuary in Toronto. In 1925 when four Protestant denominations merged into the United Church of Canada, he served as a consulting actuary in merging together the retirement plans of the clergy in the four different denominations. He retired in 1951. He published numerous articles in actuarial and statistical journals. He was a vice-president of the Actuarial Society of America in 1940–1942. He was elected a Fellow of three learned societies: the Institute of Actuaries, the Royal Statistical Society, and the Society of Actuaries. Wolfenden was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1924 at Toronto. He is perhaps best known in learned circles for drawing attention to the almost forgotten work of an American mathematician, Erastus Lyman De Forest (1834–88), who, in the 1870s made important discoveries in graduation and statistics, some of them rediscovered by others decades later. Much of De Forest's work has current relevance and is being cited in research papers appearing in scholarly journals today. (en)
