After 45 years of service to Central, Cleon C. Richtmeyer retired this year as Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences. He came to Central in 1924-, immediately following his graduation from Albion College. Throughout his 1175 years here, Richtmeyer has served as an instructor, Department Head, Di- rector of Instruction and Dean of Faculty, besides his most recent post. Replacing Richtmeyer is Richard V. Dietrich, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Virginia Polytechnical Institute. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Colgate University in 1947, where he ranked first in his class. In 1950, he earned his Master of Science degree from Yale, and a year later his doctorate. Department Hosts Conference for Math Teachers Mathematics, now housed in Pearce Hall, has undergone many changes since Webster H. Pearce was chairman of the department from 1917-1927. Computers, conferences and outstanding faculty and students have lent distinction to this discipline. General courses are incorporated into the first two years of a math major, with specialization in statistics and probability stressed in the final two years. During the spring, the second annual Beginning Teachers of Secondary Mathematics Conference was held at Central. The purpose of the conference is to provide a link between beginning teachers, experi- enced teachers, and administrators.
