Sidis photographed for his Harvard Graduation (1914).

Status: Partially Found/Lost

William James Sidis was an American child prodigy. His monumentous intellectual abilities, coupled with a seemingly tragic life story, have attracted wide interest from scholars, scientists, and popular commentators.

Status of Lost works

The preservation of Sidis's works is sketchy. He is known to have used many pseudonyms to publish his writings, and it is unclear if some of his known writings were even published at all. Amy Wallace, the only author to write a systematic biography of Sidis, had access to some of his writings and reproduced brief quotations in her book.

Graham and his associates concluded that the equipment was "perfectly adequate for a summit bid".
