math department Four score and seven years ago tthat's 87t our fathers brought forth on this continent a new subject, math, con- ceived in confusion and dedicated to the proposition that most students will fail. Now we are engaged in a great regents, testing whether that student or any other student, so bothered and so puz- zled can long endure . . .
