Let H be an Hadamard matrix of order n. Then \(\sigma\) (H) denotes the sum of all entries of H. Furthermore \[ \sigma (n)=_{H} \sigma (H), \] where H runs over all Hadamard matrices of order n. Now the main result of the present paper is the following theorem: If m is the order of a skew Hadamard matrix, then \[ \sigma (4m^ 2-4m)=4(m-1)^ 2(2m+1). \]
