In this note we prove the Descendent Theorem (2) of Slepian, Moore, and Prange in an abstract form. Our proof shows that the theorem is valid in much more general settings than that of vector spaces over Z/2Z. Applications of the descendent theorem to coding theory may be found in (2), and a study of Prange's method of proof is carried out by Dade in (1).
