▲'''George Benham Seligman'''
Seligman received his bachelor's degree in 1950 from the [[University of Rochester]] and his PhD in 1954 from [[Yale University]] under [[Nathan Jacobson]] with thesis ''Lie algebras of prime characteristic''.<ref>{{MathGenealogyProject|id=4306}}</ref> After he received his PhD he was a Henry Burchard Fine Instructor at [[Princeton University]] from 1954–1956. In 1956 he became an instructor and from 1965 a full professor at Yale, where he was chair of the mathematics department from 1974 to 1977.▼
