3fn Jtlcmonnm ENOR EDWARD LUNDIN B. S., M. Ed., Harvard The great teacher develops in his students respect for their fellow-man, love of truth, and desire for wisdom. Such a man was Enor Edward Lundin. Born in Quincy, Massachusetts, he attended the local schools and received his B. S. degree from Harvard in 1914. Then followed a series of assignments which contributed greatly to the enrichment of his background and interests. His first appointment as a teacher at Quincy High was interrupted in 1917 when he volunteered to serve in the navy during World War I. After the war, he taught for one year at the University High School, Cleveland, Ohio, and for two years at Malden High. He joined the Mathematics Department of the English High School in September, 1922. During his early years at English High he continued the interest in navigation, which he had developed while in the navy, by fostering a Mathematics Club which studied various aspects of meteorology and navigation. This extracurricular activity was eventually organized and arranged by him into a full year’s course of study and finally incorporated under the title of M7 as one of the regular elective subjects for seniors. Enor Lundin was a great teacher for many reasons. His early study and experiences as a teacher were varied. He prepared each lesson in detail and with a devotion and zeal that will seldom be equalled. He lived again as a youth with his students as, with them, he “discovered the various truths and principles of mathematics. He enjoyed teaching. He enjoyed the emotional excitement that comes with the realization that he had planted in some young mind the seed of an idea and that it had flourished. He brought to his students understanding and sympathy. Intolerant of sham and hypocrisy, his own life was marked by simplicity and devotion to his family and his school. Mr. Lundin was always young in mind, always reading and studying, and anticipating the modernization of the curriculum. In his early days he served on various committees which set up courses of study of mathematics for Boston. In later years he contributed to The Mathematics Teacher, published by The National Council of Mathematics Teachers. One of his latest articles was a detailed description and proof of a method of constructing an equilateral triangle equiva- lent to a given square. His latest publication concerned the “Solution of Equations by Means of Rectangular Circuits. This was a masterful climax to five years’ work in which a method, invented in 1888 by Luigi Cremona, Professor of Mathematics in the University of Rome, was modified and corrected so that it could be used for a solution of polynomial equations of any degree. It is sad, in a sense, that this last article was delivered in Boston on the morning of his death; and yet, it is but a sign that the life and influence of Enor Lundin will continue on in the minds and hearts of his students and friends. RETIREMENT During the thirty-eight years at Boston English High School, Mr. Atwood has contributed much to countless thousands of students. His warm personality and keen interest in his students’ problems made him not only their teacher but a friend as well. Mr. Atwood is a man of high character, a gentleman of broad culture and intellectual interests, and a teacher of deep understanding. He was born and raised in Malden, Massachusetts and his present address is in Malden. From 1913 to 1916 he was treasurer of Urbana University School, Urbana, Ohio; 1916 to 1918, Morristown School, Morristown, New Jersey; 1919 to 1924, sub-master, Malden High School. He was also the treasurer of Chapel Hill School, Waltham. Mr. Atwood entered English High School in September 1924, and his loyalty to the school has been unquestioned. His sincere devotion to his pro- fession, his deep concern in the welfare of the pupils, his great love for science, and his various dissertations on things in general will make him long and fondly remembered by all.
