THE C HE typical Science senior. if such a crea- ture exists. upon listening to a typical freshman chatter for a fem minutes on the courses he is taking. mould say vxhile strok- ing rellectively his senior hat. Willy in my day. it nas different. He would he refer- ring. of course. to the various changes in the curriculum which have taken place since the declaration of xx ar hy the Lvnited States. :Xt first glance. these changes may seem radical and striking. hut closer inspection reveals that in comparison nith the changes made lvv other schools. 5cience is still folloning the same general pattern as previouslv. ln tart even lfefore our vonntryis entrance into the nur our school nas geared to tht- ual' effort.

Surprisingly enough though. even the advanced math students have found dif- ficulty in problems not much more involved. To remedy this situation. the mathematics department is taking up the forgotten work of elementary school with the freshmen.
