RESEARCH BY MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT

The charge is sometimes made that the faculties of colleges isolated as is Dartmouth from large centers, become lethargic in the matter of original re-research. If the recent activities of the department of mathematics form any criterion, this charge cannot be brought against the teaching force of Dartmouth, for at the spring meeting of the American Mathematical Society, held at Columbia University on April 26, seven of the thirty-three papers read were presented by members of our own faculty. Professor Young, Professor Bill, Dr. Rowe, and""Mr. Gaba presented one paper each. Professor Pitcher two papers, and Professor Young and Dr. Morgan one in collaboration.
