Mathematics The Department of Mathematics and Astron- omy, which was previously quartered in the old Health Center building, has now been moved to more spacious quarters in Christmas-Saucon Hall. Like English, math is required of every student in varying degrees according to which course of study the student fo llows. The differentiation is made even before the freshman year begins between students in the various colleges. All Engineering students begin at once in Analytic Geometry and Calculus, which continues for two years. Students in the College of Business take courses designed for their future use in this field, while Arts students in the Biology, Geology, and Psychology Departments take a two- semester course in Mathematical Analysis. All Engineering students, following their two years of Analytic Geometry and Calculus, take courses in Applied Mathematics and in the Prin- ciples of Analysis. Beyond these courses, work taken depends on the individual and his particular facultv advisor. GEORGE E. RAYNOR Head of Departmt tit This structure stands as it appeared in the fall of 1957; it has since been torn down and the Department of Mathematics and Astronomy, which it once housed, has moved to more permanent quarters in Christmas-Saucon Hall. ; =C m

Technical Writing. Courses in literature also are open to qualified students in the Business and Engineering Colleges. This is one great advantage that technical stu- dents at Lehigh have over students at some other- wise excellent technical schools, namely, that Le- high ' s well-developed College of Arts and Science is at the service of the professional students for their general cultural development. However, most of those electing courses in lit- erature are from the College of Arts and Science, and usually they are majoring in English. To each major student is assigned one of the professors in the department who. in conferences, learns just what the student has read and counsels him on filling the gaps. The student in this manner gains a wider know ledge of literature and is able to pre- pare for his final comprehensive examination in a more leisurely and confident manner when he reaches his senior year.
