DIEKOFF B-A--B0Wd01f1 College B.A., M.A.--Bryn Mawr College B.A.-Wellesley College 1956 1957 1959 With the increasing belief that a truly liberal education is necessary today, mathematics has ceased to be a course for engineering or mathematics majors only. Above and beyond the required courses. there has been an increase in the number of students studying mathematics as an elective. Especially interesting is the fact that a major part of this increase has been girls. This year the Mathematics De- partment has included a two-period per-week Solid Geometry Course for seniors in addition to their Trigonometry and Advanced Algebra, which now comprises the Senior Math Work. While it is necessary to adjust the high school program to in- clude new principles and techniques, a change of curriculum is appearing on the Lower School level to lay a better groundwork for the more advanced studies.
