The authoress considers the role of Dickson in the strong interest in algebras of various kinds evidenced in the USA in the early days of its mathematical importance. The prehistory involves Hamilton on quaternions and especially B. Peirce's classification of algebras which obeyed the associative law, from which Dickson came to form the idea of an algebra in the 1900s. Concurrent influences include postulate theory, which had recently been much inspired by Dickson's teacher E. H. Moore and fellow student O. Veblen. \{The authoress wrongly credits me on p. 117 with an article about B. Russell. However, she could have drawn upon my ``Benjamin Peirce's `Associative Algebra' (1870): new light on its preparation and `publication', Ann. Sci. 54, No. 6, 597-606 (1997; Zbl 0899.01014)''\}. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0933.00010].
