NATIONAL MATH ASSOCIATION HONORS PROFESSOR YOUNG

Professor J. W. Young, chairman of the Department of Mathematics has been accorded high honor in recognition of his services as chairman of the National Committee on Mathematical Requirements in a resolution passed recently by the Association of America in session in Cincinnati. The resolution offered by a committee consisting of Professors R. C. Archibald and Dunham Jackson and unanimously adopted by the Association and transmitted to Professor Young by vote of the trustees of the Association reads:

"The Mathematical Association of America in session at Cincinnati desires to place on record its sense of high appreciation for the splendid piece of work brought to happy conclusion by the National Committee .on Mathematical requirements. The devotion displayed by the various members of the committee in articulating and organizing the thought of the country on a wide range of important problems has made possible the accomplishment of a task which might well have been deemed of formidable magnitude. Especially does the Association desire to recognize the great ability, tact and energy with which the undertaking has been prosecuted by the chairman of the Committee, John Wesley Young, who has to a notable degree placed the stamp of his own personality on one of the greatest achievements of co-operative effort in the history of mathematical teaching."
