I am surprised Karen didn't mention the remarkable article:

"Dirk Struik Celebrates his 100th"

by Allyn Jackson

in the Notices of the AMS, Vol. 42, No 1, January 12, 1995, pp 43-45

It is available from:

http://www.ams.org/notices/199501/struik.pdf

... but for some reason I had difficulties downloading the pdf file and
then the photographs, showing Dirk in full action, were reproduced with a
very poor resolution. It might be a local problem.
