of the first Romanian topologists who obtained their candidate’s theses were Stoilow’s students Tudor Ganea, , , Valentin Poénaru, and . In 1952, Stoilow was awarded the Order of the Star of the Romanian People's Republic, First class. Stoilow died in Bucharest in 1961 of a brain stroke. He was cremated at the Cenușa crematorium. Prior to the Romanian Revolution of 1989, his funeral urn was maintained in a crypt at the Carol Park Mausoleum. Legacy The Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy (closed in 1975 by a decree of Nicolae Ceaușescu, reopened in the immediate aftermath of the 1989 Revolution), is now named after him. The Simion Stoilow Prize is awarded every year by the Romanian Academy.
