In 1942 LEV PONTRJAGIN of Moscow University began to study thehomology of Grassmann manifolds, using a cell subdivision due to CharlesEhresmann. This enabled him to construct important new characteristicclasses. (Pontrjagins many contributions to mathematics are the moreremarkable in that he is totally blind, having lost his eyesight in an acci-dent at the age of fourteen.)
