in the Department of Mathematics at Lehigh University at the time. Hsiung served as the journal's editor-in-chief, and later co-editor-in-chief, until his death in 2009. In May 1996, the annual Geometry and Topology conference which was held at Harvard University was dedicated to commemorating the 30th anniversary of the journal and the 80th birthday of its founder. Similarly, in May 2008 Harvard held a conference dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the ''Journal of Differential Geometry''.

Reception

In his 2005 book ''Mathematical Publishing: A Guidebook'', Steven Krantz writes: "At some very prestigious journals, like the ''Annals of Mathematics'' or the ''Journal of Differential Geometry'', the editorial board meets every couple of months and debates ''each'' paper in detail."Steven George Krant
